Are you running Sonoma as your operating system by any chance?

There are problems with Sonoma.

It was recommended not to upgrade to Sonoma until the problems were fixed in Archicad.

There has been a recent update for 27 that I supposed to have fixed some issues, but I have not seen one for 26 yet.

Try turning the CAPS lock button off while editing text.

Hi Angela

We have been experiencing the same issues.

Our "workaround" has been to run Archicad 26 (on Sonoma) without Add-Ons.

We could provoke an instant crash by editing text in Layouts.

By removing Add-ons from the ArchiCad 26 folder we have not experienced a crash so fare.

I'm having the same issue. After seeing your comment I tried removing the Add-ons folder from the ArchiCad 26 folder, but was then unable to open archicad (receiving a failure message indicating Add-ons were missing). I'd appreciate any further advice on how you got this workaround to work. Thanks.

A preview release of update 27.2.0 has just been added.

Give that a try and see if that fixes it.

I emailed Graphisoft.
They instructed me on how to Disable the Sonoma Caps-Lock indicator feature. Now, I can type in ArhiCAD26 without crashing it. 😅

Neda W,

Could you write it down here? Could be useful for others facing this same issue.

Thanks Neda for your advice.

I turned off the caps lock icon on macOS Sonoma (via Terminal) and that appears to have fixed the issue (I found an online tutorial to work out how to do this - https://droidwin.com/how-to-turn-off-caps-lock-icon-on-macos-sonoma/ , there's also a matching droidwin video on youtube that goes through the steps which I found helpful).
