I have CD2018 on my Desktop and laptop, both running Windows 10 64 bit and up to date. Whenever I click on the Text Menu (on the menu bar) CD freezes and then closes. This happens on both PCs so I don't think it's something on my system.
Anyone?
OK, everyone. I think I solved the issue. It was a combo of Ronny's and Eskimo's suggestions that worked. I reset the workspace to default and imported each custom element one at a time and thus was able to determine it was a toolbar that was causing the crash (I don't know which one). Then I reset the menu bar as Ronny suggested and the issue disappeared. Confusing because I'd imported the menu element from the custom workspace without an issue but the crash happened after importing the toolbars, even though the issue was with the menu bar. I guess there was a connection somewhere between them that didn't agree.
It all seems to be working now. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.
Thanks for sharing the outcome, PJ. I'm glad it worked out satisfactorily for you!
A CorelDRAW workspace (*.cdws) file is a zip archive with other content inside it. One of the things in there is a workspace.xml file that keeps track of a LOT of stuff associated with the workspace.
I sorta-kinda understand a little bit of what is going on in some parts of that file. As an example, here is a section where it defines what items are present on the "View" part of the Menu Bar:
(The text in green is comments that I have added myself; not originally present in the file.)
I suspect that it might be possible that, when importing parts of a workspace, CorelDRAW isn't always able to make sure that everything is consistent, and that something in one part of that file somehow "steps on the toes" of something in another part of the file.
That is largely speculation on my part, with some anecdotal evidence to support it.
