ANY HELP is appreciated, I’m so stuck.

Hello @seo

This is a problem we’re currently looking into.
Check if inside the source code there is any text that is not wrapped around any tags. It seems like the editor crashes on chrome (not on other browsers) when text is present while not being wrapped around tags.
We’re still looking into this, but in the meantime, using something other than chrome, or making sure all text is being wrapped by a <div> or something similar, should solve the issue.

As a quick follow-up, we also noticed that this Chrome bug was fixed in Chrome canary (the bleeding-edge version for early testing), which hopefully means it should make it into Chrome production soon. Fingers crossed🤞

Not being Chrome developers, it’s hard for us to troubleshoot this on our own, since most of the debugging tools crash with the browser :frowning:

Sorry for the inconvenience here. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too long until the fix trickles down into production Chrome.

In the meantime, the easiest workaround is to just use Firefox or another browser temporarily, until Chrome fixes the bug.

@seo,

This should be fixed now in Chrome 132. Please update your browser and try again; hopefully it won’t crash anymore!

Sorry it took so long… it was a Chrome bug that we had no ability to fix, and had to wait for Google to release a new version.
