Crashing multiple times a day
Hi all,
I’m running InDesign 2025 (v20.2.0.36) on macOS 15.3.2 (Apple Silicon). I’ve experienced a repeat crash which seems to happen either at launch or while interacting with a document.
I’ve attached the crash log for reference, but the key info is:
• Crash type: SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault: 11)
• Exception code: 0x0000000000000000
• Crash location: Document Actions → Command::DoImmediate(short)
• Main thread: crash happened in the dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
From what I can see, it looks like InDesign is crashing during a document-level action, possibly linked to a plugin or corrupted document element. There are also multiple background threads referencing PlugPlugOwl, TypeKit, and VulcanMessage, so there may be extension or font-related interference too.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
• Launching in safe mode (holding Shift) — still crashes
• Resetting InDesign preferences — didn’t help
• Validated fonts using Font Book — no issues flagged
• All updates are installed, both macOS and InDesign
Would love some help identifying the root cause, or advice on further diagnostics.
Thanks in advance!
