Layout freeze when clicked on

Anyone running into this issue? Anytime when I'm in the Site and Project info layout and trying to adjust the layout to fit, it just freezes after I click on it, can't right click or do anything. It's like layout is trying to refresh cause you can see in the Info box (layer, border line, size etc) is glitching.

 

I never had this problem before, and noticed when was trying to adjust the layout in my design. I've restarted many times, hard shut down on archicad etc. Tried in a blank template file and same issue was happening...

 

Seems maybe the latest update caused this issue?

I can very much agree with the ISSUE here... I have been trying to diagnose this for about a year now.... It seems to have STARTED with an update to v27, but has continued on since.

 

My original diagnosis was that a TITLE TYPE that I had created (which has worked FINE for 10 years or so) seemed to be the cause (never proven, though)

 

My title type reads the GRID and draws a box / title bar based on the grid.

All is well when ON THE LAYOUT in the PRINTABLE AREA, but seemed to lock up when dragged OFF the printable area.  (again, even doing this previously caused NO PROBLEMS).

 

But now, with a legacy of drawings hanging around layouts but OFF the printable area, will cause this lockup.... Typically when SELECTING that drawing. In other words, just navigating to the sheet seems ok, but once selected.... lock up.

 

One by one I'm deleting them using the ORGANIZER / NAVIGATOR...

 

I just experienced this this morning... Sending email to Graphisoft Tech now (but have in the past without a solution yet)...

 

I am convinced something governing this changed in the core scripting of ArchiCAD in one of the update releases of 27...

I am experiencing this issue too. I am working on a Windows platform and it's not just one sheet. I would say it's kind of random on which sheet will freeze on me when I open it up. Lately I have had floor plans freeze too. This must be an Archicad issue.
