Italics bug that crashes premier, still not fixed.

[Brandon274946644rge]

I already reported this bug a few weeks ago, and there was a community discussion about this issue...

No update has been implemented to fix the issue, so I'm reporting it again.

Using Premiere:

-Create a text overlay/text-box

-Change font to Lucida Grande

-Change font to italics

-Font size doesn't seem to matter, (put it to 20 if you want to replicate where I've discovered the bug)

-Type any word that contains the letters "fi" (for example: type the word first, or finally, or finished)

-This will cause the program to crash, and exit you out completely.

-It's not just the font style "Lucida Grande" that experiences this bug/crashing. There are others that I have experiemented with.

__________________________________________________________________________________

I cannot express how frustrating and annoying this bug is.

I am over 100 hours deep into a video project, with more than 100 hours to go.

This project has A LOT of information, in the form of text that I've added to each "slide".

I've literally had premier crash on me over 60 times in the last month, all because of THIS BUG.

I've lost hours of work, and have had to retype the same things over and over again.

I've had to change my auto-save setting for every 5 minutes, due to the risk of losing my work.

I cannot express how distruptive this bug is, when I am focused on writing and lose my entire train of thought, due to the program crashing on me when I forget about the bug. I do not like having to ALWAYS have my mind on the program crashing, when I want to focus on writing without interruption.

Why hasn't it been fixed yet? Considering how advanced the rest of the program is... the developers should be able to fix this issue rather quickly/simply. The customers are being charged money each month, to use this program... it would be nice to see some of that monthly income, to pay a developer for his time to fix the issue.

Time is money, and I have lost a tremendous amount of time on account of something as petty as this "fi".

Also: I have the most current version of premier, and have a 2022 Macbook Pro with the M1 chip. I have zero performance issues when using Premier. My ONLY PROBLEM is with this bug I'm reporting on.

Thank you,

Have a good day.

Hi Brandon274946644rge,

We're sorry about the poor experience. We're able to reproduce this issue & will try our best to get this addressed as soon as possible. Please let us know the other font types with which you are experiencing this issue.

Thanks,

Sumeet

Thank you for the reply.

While using the same parameters of italics + words with the letters "fi":

Other font types experiencing the same crash:

Noto Sans Adlam

Noto Sans Armenian

Noto Sana Avestan

I have not cared to experiement with all the different variations of  "Noto Sans ________" that are also listed in the fonts to choose from, because the first four on the list, all crashed.

I have not experiemented beyond Lucida Grande and the ones mentioned above.

Hope this helps

Also wanted to mention, it's not just "fi" that causes the crash.

"ff" also has the same result.

For example: try spelling the words "off", "office", "official", etc.

Premiere will crash.

Apparently the italics "ff" and "fi" are not the only triggers for causing the program to crash.

Just found another one, which is using the same font of Lucida Grande, and attempting to use BOLD text while typing the same letters. "ff" and "fi"creates the same crash as itallics.

What's the status on these issues being fixed?

I am not even halfway done with my project, and am still experiencing these issues (with my Premiere crashing) every single time.
