P: Crashing when writing caption metadata

@dave1268, "repeatedly crashed trying to add titles in the metadata module"

Dave, are you using a non-English keyboard, and do the crashes occur only when typing particular keys, e.g. the circumflex (^) or keys with accents? 

If this doesn't match your symptoms, then you may be experiencing a different problem than described by this thread, and it would be best to start a new one so your problem doesn't get lost.

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 but not as often.

Same thing for me, I installed the new update full of hope, but no luck...

"This bug is in Adobe's radar to fix it?"

Yes, the official status at bottom of the first post says Bug: Investigating, and Adobe Employee Rikk Flohr's pinned reply at the top says, "logged a bug with the team".

"I have installed the latest updates to LrC and to MacOS ... yet LrC is still crashing while entering Title and Description text. ... Lightroom Classic version: 13.0.2"

Unfortunately, LR 13.0.2 fixed just one bug:

LR 13.1 is likely due this week or next. Until then, you'll have to continue with the tedious workarounds:

So that one plugin, that involves the very metadata you are having issues with. what if you deactivate or delete it??

LrC Version: 13.0.2 (but it was happening from 13.0)

OS: macOS Sonoma 14.1.2

Mac Mini M2

I'm trying to keyword photos inside People option (O), but when I start typing a keyword in a photo, LrC  crashes.

This is started to happen after I installed version 13.

Please check.

I have installed the latest updates to LrC and to MacOS, and restarted my Mac after both, yet LrC is still crashing while entering Title and Description text. Crash logs have been submitted. This is hampering productivity.

I'm having the same issue. I have a US keyboard, Lightroom Classic 13.2, Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.2.
I use the "US International - PC" input source.
When I type the tilde or an accent on the "Rename" dialog, the dialog goes away (like pressing Esc).
If I type it again, Lightroom crashes. 

Same problem here on LrC 13.0.2 on MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1, when I press an accent key on my Spanish keyboard when typing the name of a collection. Already reported the case.
