P: Crashing when writing caption metadata

LR Classic is frequently crashing in the metadata caption box. I can't reliably reproduce the issue, it just works for a while then LR disappears and then crash report window appears.

 

I do notice the text drawing in the caption box gets a bit flaky. Odd or just deleted text appearing then disappearing. MacOS's new caps-lock indicator gets a bit flaky too, before a crash.  I also have dynamic spell checking on, but that appears to be stable.

 

LR Classic version: 13.0.01

 Model Name: MacBook Pro

    This is happening to me multiple times a day. All crashes have been submitted from the crash report dialog. I am current on LrC (14.3.1) and MacOS (2022 M2 running 15.5). I hope Adobe can get to the bottom of this. It is very frustrating and has been a problem for many versions. Do let me know if I can be of assistance in debugging or testing a fix.

      @maxlalvelais, this bug was reported by Adobe as fixed in LR 13.1, and several people (including me) confirmed that. Verify you're running 13.1 by doing Help > System Info. If you're running an earlier version, do Help > Updates to install 13.1.

        Same issue here! Everytime we type an accent (in Spanish), Lightroom Classic crashes inmediatly.
        We have two Lightroom instalations, my wife and me, we have two Adobe susbscriptions, one is installed on a 14" MacBook Pro and the other on a 13" MacBook Air, with M1 Pro and M2 processors, both perfectly updated and almost new (less than 3 months of use).
        Never had an isssue before this.

                @Rikk Flohr: Photography, please consider marking this bug as fixed. Two of us report that the crashes no longer occur with LR 13.1.
