My Scrivener used to work fine until today when I tried to add extra level in the Export \> Formatting panel. For example, I have Level 1+ for all three section types: Folder, Stack, and Document. I can add one extra level, e.g. Level 2+, to any one of them. However, when I try to add another level, Scrivener freezes. I’ve tried cleaning up all Scrivener preferences, reinstall the app, and create a new project file. Nothing works so far.

Does anyone encounter the same issue? I appreciate if any one can help me solve this problem!

I am using Mac OS X 10.10 and Scrivener 2.6.

Yes, we just figured this one out with the help of someone else today. Please reference [this post](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/scrivener-locking-up-when-manipulating-formatting-pane/28517/1) for information on how to get around the problem for now.
