Paragraph and character styles crash program

New Here ,
Aug 01, 2025 Aug 01, 2025

Hey,

Every time I open paragraph or character styles, illustrator crashes.

When I do it in indesign, the program freezes for about 60 seconds.

This is really annoying me and costing me a lot of time.

Does someone know any solution for this, or is adobe gonna fix this?

I. cannot reproduce that. Which system and version is it and what is your default font resp. which font is active when you open the dialog box. Do you use font management?

Hi @Plunched,

 

Thanks for reporting this. I can see how frustrating it must be to deal with crashes every time you access paragraph or character styles.

Could you please confirm the OS and Illustrator version you're currently using? Also, let us know if this happens with all files or just specific ones. Are you able to create a new document, and does the crash still occur when opening the Paragraph or Character Styles panel there?

Please share the information asked by the expert. Moreover, to help us investigate further, please submit the crash report via the Adobe Crash Reporter when Illustrator crashes, and share your email address via DM, so I can check the logs. Reference: https://adobe.ly/45caQto

Lastly, try testing Illustrator in Safe Mode. This disables third-party plugins or processes and can help isolate the cause.

Looking forward to your update.

Same here for me. Not graphic or style rich document - in fact problem appearing in simple design.
For every time i try to edit paragraph styles Illustrator crashes or freeze for a while. 

I'm starting to be more frustrated as from each update there are dozen of "Fantastic" AI feautures but all the other important tools are more buggy in comparation of older versions. 

As a graphic designer i need workflow without interuptions and crashes on basic functions...

Does that still happen after you reboot the computer and reset the preferences?

Does it also happen with different fonts?
