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.

I appreciate your patience in the time this issue is resolved. Because there are other users with this issue on the forum, I would highly appreciate it if you could provide us with an update here after the team contacts you.

I have the same issue. I have had this problem for a while, I updated the application recently hoping the issue would be resolved, but it seems to occur more frequently now. I pressed "send report" button a couple times after it crashed and I reopened. 

Windows 10 Pro 1909

XD 25.1.12

Hey all,

Ever since I downloaded and started to use Adobe XD (from the start) it used to crash and bugs were apparent. Now, my Adobe XD has been updated to the newest version, and I cannot edit text.

Is this just a bug in the new update?

Hi Taylor,

We're so sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please share a few more details like:

1. The version of XD and the Operating System.
2. Does this happen while working on a specific file or multiple files?
3. Do you use an additional external monitor?
4. If you have the Windows Operating System, please ensure that the graphics card driver is up to date as per the manufacturer's website.

Regards

+1 on this. Although I'm experiencing this bug for ever now. There are literally dozens of posts about this on Adobe forum and noone seems to care, just some ctrl+c/ctrl+v responses everytime... 😞

Hi there,

I am sorry for the bad experience. I understand it could be frustrating for you. However, when we previously logged a bug. Team investigated that the issue was with the operating system. I would suggest checking if you have any updates available for your operating system. If no, I would request you to please share the above asked information so that I can log a new bug for your issue.

I will try my best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi there,

We are sorry to hear you are experiencing issues while editing text in XD. We would like to know a few more details so that we can again escalate it to our team for investigation-

• Have you noticed any specific action triggering this behavior?
• Is it happening with every file or with a specific file?
• Is it happening with a specific text box or randomly with any?
• How often do you experience this issue?
• Please share the OS and XD version of your machine.
• Please make sure your graphic card driver and operating system are up to date.
• Are you using any external monitor?

I know these are too many questions. However, in order to log a bug for the issue we would need all the information so that the team can investigate it.

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Agreed, this is still a problem.

Happens lot of time when editing text.

XD just becomes unresponsive and sometimes it might come back after several minutes but I have not time to do that every time dozen times a day.

Restarting XD helps sometimes but more often the problem comes back after just a couple minutes.

I have tried reinstalling, updating OS and XD. Nothing works.

I-need-a-fix.

I have been having this issue increasingly over the past few weeks.  It's increadibly annoying and I'm about ready to swap to Figma!!  I can't believe this has been around since November and still isn't fixed!!

Hi all,
Sorry if a post like this already exists.
I have a big problem with Xd for a few weeks / months, it freezes a lot!
Especially when I want to edit a text, or change its text options. And I often encounter these freeze problems when I want to edit a shape size also in the edit panel (right).

My updates are done, drivers done, and I have the case on my 2 computers (my big gamer and my laptop, I'm on windows). I do not understand where it can come from. I have told friends about it and they have the same concerns. Xd can freeze almost a minute, and every 5 minutes it starts again, it's hell! The only solution to quit freeze is to click on "save", but it starts again as soon as I want to edit a text.

If you have solutions i take them

Thanks 🙂

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I'd request if you can share a few more details like:

1. The version of Adobe XD.
2. Does this happen on a specific file or multiple files?
3. Does this happen with local documents or cloud documents?
4. Please ensure that the graphic card driver should be up to date as per the manufacturer's website.
5. Will it be possible for you to uninstall and reinstall the graphic card driver? If possible please do that and reboot the machine and check again.
6. This can also happen because of corrupt text boxes, please try identifying if there are any corrupt text boxes.

For us it's gotten to the point where we spend over an hour/day waiting for XD to unfreeze so we can edit text.

My question is: seeing how there are numerous posts on this topic going back over a year (on multiple OS, multiple versions of the same OS, multiple devices, multiple versions of XD, etc.) do have any plans to fix it in the app or are you planning to continue troubleshooting every case individually?

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

Hi there,

We are sorry for the frustration. I completely agree with you that the issue has been occurred in past and we logged a bug for it as well. However, the team realised that issue was with operating system. 

If you are still facing the issue, we would request you to please share the details so that we can log another bug for the issue and the team can investigate on it.

Thanks,

Harshika

Have you considered recommending people change the font being used.

I just came across this when using XD for the first time, similar or same issues as people having been having for months.

Recommending it is another provider / update / OS does not work over such a long timeframe, the one commonality appears to be that "A Font" is being used and not all are made equal.

I was using Poppins, will test with other font and see if problem recurrs. Recommend other do similar test and report if there are problem fonts.

Hi, Rishbh

Thanks for responding.

Adobe XD  freezes / crashes while using text tool.

The crazy behavior of XD while using text tool,

1. Unable to edit text

2. Text typed in text box is received in  font Name or size field

3. Text tool is frozen, not able to create any new text in the artboard

4. Not able to change any properties of the text

5. Not able to select the text inside the text box

6. Problem remains until closed and reopened again, sometime it requires multiple close/ reopen sequence.  

7. While in the freeze state not able to save the changes, but while closing the app it asks for save changes.

I'm wondering,  may be this bug is considered to be the most lucky one to keep all the way,  as it survives through all the versions of XD so  far .

This bug is reported by many times by users . 

But the bug is solid across all the updates.

[Spas K.]

Yeah, it's a problem that's been plaguing us for a long time, for me it happened a lot a few versions back, not so much recently. Does the Alt+Tab workaround not work? Switch to another app and back to Xd. It seems to be working for me when it happens. Also, make sure graphics drivers & Windows are up to date (I believe it only happens on Win due to the "amazing" UWP experience 🙂  ). Not sure if I can suggest anything other than that.

Otherwise, I really hope the team starts focusing on clearing this and other annoying bugs.
Unfortunately, we can only hope 🙂
