Replaced text (when using Track Changes) in a table will crash InDesign/InCopy 2024 when switching to text views
To recreate (See attached images):
- Create a simple table in InDesign and add some content to one cell, then activate Track Changes.
- Select the content and replace it with new content, then select to switch to "Story Editor".
What occurs:
1. InDesign will completely freeze up and needs to be forced to quit.
2. This will also happen (in the same set up) if you are using InCopy and switch to either "Story" or "Galley" view.
Comments:
It seems that this is triggered by the graphics that highlight the removed/new text. If you are not showing the colors in any of the text views then the applications will not crash. This cannot be replicated in any older version of InDesign/InCopy.
