Yes, it works with me. I just checked a document using insets. Not a very extensive test though, as I don't have a lot of customers using that feature. If it may be of any help, I can send you the project files. When using one of the earlier versions of FM I discovered that instabiliity might sometimes be caused by old tmp files. It might be worth a try deleting all *.tmp files.
I've run into the same thing. The workaround I've found for standalone files (to update cross references at least) was to save the file, close the file, and reopen it. It seems to update the references upon opening. Update Book works just fine on files within a book in 17.0.5.
Update References definitely needs to be fixed though so it can be run normally.
I'm running into this issue along with one or two of my other team members. However, the remainder of my team (about 4 people) is not having this problem. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the software but that didn't fix it. One thing I noticed is that FrameMaker is only drawing part of the Update References dialog box. I tried to upload a screen cap of the dialog box, but I suspect our proxy is blocking the upload. I've been doing the same thing as the other poster, closing and re-opening the file. However, some of our files are large and take time to open, especially for those who work from home and don't have the same network speed as our corporate server. I'm hoping Adobe fixes this issue soon, we use many cross-references and we often the Update References option.
If some people are having the issue & some aren't then there's got to be some difference between the working vs. non-working machines. Are they using the same files? Are they all running the same point version of FM2022? Are the ones who have an issue working remotely and are trying to access the content across the VPN to remote servers? Maybe copying the content locally might improve the situation as a test.
Fresh install of 17.0.5 and new Blank, Portrait Document. Navigate to Edit > Update References. Select either Text Inset option. Result = Crash
Fresh install of 17.0.3 and new Blank, Portrait Document.Navigate to Edit > Update References. Select either Text Inset option. Result = Success in selecting options in dialog
I believe I have some of the previous installers, but I am unsure as to how to know which version they are, without installing them? Might you know how to check?
