Forced to quit

I am running the latest DW 2021 on Mac OS Sequoia 15.5.

I am editing pages and suddenly it stops working, then the spinning wheel of death appears and then I get the message saying that DW is unresponsive - Ignore or Force Quit.

Anyone know why I might be getting this and how to stop it? I was getting this same issue before the last OS update.

Thanks in advance!

If you perform a quick search of the forum, there are many reported issues with the latest release. If usual remedies such as resetting preferences are not working for you the best solution would be to roll back to the previous 21.4 release.
