Reply To: InDesign CS5 crashing on save

I'm still having this problem, though I'm mostly avoiding it by steering clear of Conditional Text. There generally does come a point when I need it though, and what I'm mostly doing then is exporting to IDML and then applying the conditional text to that document. This usually doesn't crash, unless I try to hide the conditional text. To save the changes, I export out again as IDML rather than saving the new file as INDD.

I opened one such IDML file today, where two different conditions of text had been applied, and found that one of the conditions was applied not only to the paragraph I'd put it on, but also all subsequent paragraphs up to the next instance of the other condition. When I tried to return these paragraphs to their correct, unconditional, state, InDesign crashed, but was able to restore the document on restart.

Is this another clue?
