I have a novel manuscript project, that has been intermittently crashing to desktop when I go from a selected chapter folder to the entire manuscript.
It begins loading the manuscript into the main editor window, displays a loading animated circle for about five seconds, then crashes to desktop.
This behavior repeated several times upon reload, then I tried opening the same project on my M2 MacBook Air, instead of the M1 Mac Studio, and was able to successfully select the entire manuscript.
I then saved the project, reopened it on the Mac Studio and was able to select the full manuscript, at least once. I haven’t tried it again yet.
This instability has me more than a little freaked out as I have two books due to publishers within the next several weeks. One for beta readers and one for final release.
I’ve sent the entire crashlog to the support e-mail, but will copy a portion of it here as well. Happy to paste the entire thing if helpful.
Thanks in advance for any ideas why this is happening.
