Adobe XD is crashing while editing text.

[Codersuraz]

Hello, I am in trouble with the latest version of xd. When I start typing with the text tool, it just crashes the app.

Unfortunately, it is still same 😞

[Peter Villevoye]

Are you able to open older files and see and maybe edit any textual elements in them ?

[erens59318938]

Actually, I have a new laptop, and I am using Adobe XD for 2-3 weeks in this laptop.
However, I have a one file which is edited in the old laptop(macbook). I saved in the cloud. I can get this file, but the same problem applies for this.

I selected Text and started typing, but I haven't seen any characters over the text area. For this silly reason, I have been using other tools but unfortunately, even I come back after half-year these issues are still there.

I have just added a comment on this, I believe it is the same issue as you are having. Hope someone would pay attention to this. (https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353010-adobe-xd-bugs-read-only/suggestions/37764643-frequently-...)

This is a huge performance problem. I am not sure what is causing it, I have tried turning of Spellcheck as somebody mentioned, it didn't help.

I have a lot of components in my file, necessary for my project, I guess that could be the issue.
Another thing I suppose could impact this, is autosaving versions that have been released recently (I was searching for a way to setup autosaving time, it is too frequent since it does seem to impact performance).

Text that freezes is not only text I add to my designs but also entering dimensions, changing HEX values, renaming my components, basically, anything that you can type in Adobe XD.

I found a workaround that usually helps, but it is frustrating and takes a long time when it happens after every third action (as someone already mentioned). Minimizing and maximizing the window helps to unfreeze.

Please acknowledge this issue, it is a HUGE and frustrating problem since it takes three times more time to do anything.

What is your OS? Did this happens with other apps on your machine?

[anicaci]

Doesn't happen with other apps, it started with latest update, maybe even the previous one.
Here are some details:

Adobe XD

26.0.22

Computer

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.17134
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8705G CPU @ 3.10GHz, 3096 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

[Ares Hovhannesyan]

You also commented that Adobe Xd  freezing after update. As have been suggected in other convertsion try to make clean instalation

[anicaci]

I have just tried that, uninstalled and installed again. 

The problem is still there. 

For example, I am typing something in my artboard, and then I click away, it is still in edit mode, text is selected, but if I start writing again, it is not responding. Then I try to zoom in/out, it is frozen. 

Then I minimize the window and maximize it again, the text is deselected (as I mentioned above, I expected that on click away and it is working after minimizing/maximizing window), and I can zoom in/out normally. 

As I wrote in other topic, it happens on anything that involves typing - from text on my designs, to dimensions, renaming components, layers etc.

Found the same unresolved issue, if it means anything, here it is

[Rithesh4i1hu]

my OS is Windows 10, and it won't happen with other apps

I find typing another program and then coming back to XD fixes the probelm. works everytime

[Ares Hovhannesyan]

Did you try to use Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation issues? 

https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/text-typing-and-renaming/m-p/10900470?page=1#M22954

I've been receiving Error 2143 and closing my cloud document after trying the co-editing function. 
I've installed V24.4.22 and now the text tool is not working, unable to highlight text to edit or start a new textbox. 

Move work to a new file is not an option for me as I need the same prototyping link! 

[Work_WAT]

Been having this problem persistently. I have to shut my document several times while co editing.

Never before did XD asked to shutdown document. I have to ask others to shut it and this has been affecting work in a great way. Please help debugging this. 

[Rajasekhar_Reddy]

Thanks for writing to us.

Regarding error 2143 ,this is a known issue and  we are investigating on this . Fix will  be shipping in the future release . We will notify you once it  is fixed .

And on XD 24.4.22 ,I tried to reproduce the  test tool issue but  i couldn't , its working fine for me . Could you please  provide more information like on which version of OS you are facing  this  issue , if possible please attach a video or gif  related to the same.

 Regards,

Rajasekhar Reddy.

Regardless of multiple clicks, the text won't highlight or allow me to edit. 

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

Hi All, 

We have seen that the issue is getting fixed after updating the operating system. Would you mind trying to update your operating system if you've any updates available? Let us know if that helps.

We'd also suggest updating XD to the latest version(25.1). Please let us know if the issue still exists. We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

I'm facing a very anoying issue: type tool sotps working randomly (about each 2-3 minutes) and I have to restart the application. It's really hard to work this way.

[Monika Gause]

Which version and system is this?

Does that happen with all documents or just some?

Does that happen with all fonts?

Did it ever work?

Do you use font management?

Have you checked all fonts for corruption?

You have already restarted the computer?

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

Hello there,

Did you guys have problems while editing text? For example, sometimes, when I use the edit text tool the program just freezes and I cant make any changes to the text or choose another tool. I searched for past errors and this issue was resolved, but I beg the differ. For me it is still an issues. I have the latest driver update and xd version. 

Have a great day!
