P: Crashing when writing caption metadata

This problem no longer occurs in the new LR 13.1 on my Mac OS 14.1 when using a French keyboard with the Mac input source sent to French. I type circumflex and other keys and LR doesn't crash.

It would be good for others to report their experience on LR 13.1. (Verify you've updated by doing the menu command Help > System Info.)

@nunomoreiraphoto, LR 13.2 is likely due this week or next, and hopefully it will fix this bug. Meanwhile, you'll have to use one the workarounds:

In Lightroom classic, on Library module, when I try to write a word with any kind of accent on any metadata field the Lightroom crashes. I already tried to uninstall and install it again and the problem continues. Any solution?

Good afternoon

This problem posted 9th november

It is still happening

When do you expect it to be solved

I just updated to version 13.0.2 and I'm facing a problem for the first time ever. I'm trying to export files and put them in a subfolder which I'm trying to give a name in Greek. In English, there's no issue. In Greek I have an issue ONLY if I try to put the accent on a letter. Καπαγεριδης is OK while Καπαγερίδης brings up the message "An internal error has occured" -[__NSCFConstantString CharacterAltIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds". I've done this many times before with previous versions, never had an issue.

Not a big deal, just to let you know.

@dave1268, your symptoms are significantly different than the other reports in this thread, which are triggered by particular keys on non-English keyboards. I think LR 13.1 is likely to be released this coming week, and if your issue persists after that, I recommend you start a new thread with full details about your issue, including the output from the menu command Help > System Info.

No particular keys.

"I am using english only."

Does it happen only when you type particular keys?

I am on a silcon M2 Max on Sonoma Mac running lightroom classic 13.0.1 and I upgraded to 13.0.2 and have repeadly crashed trying to add titles in the metadata module.  About every 3rd image causes a crash.  I noticed with 13.0.2 that opening the keyword panel and clicking gave an all white keyword panel and the same in the title box in metadata so I when back to 13.0.1.  Still crashes on 13.0.1 but not as often.  I am using the english keyboard with only english characters, no special characters.  So this different that the report on crashing with special characters or non english keyboard and it was suggested that I repost so it doesn't get lost.

I am using english only.
