**Pinegrow crashes every time I paste HTML code using the** ‘Insert Code’ field or ‘Edit HTML’ in the Properties Panel.

It also crashes immediately when I try to move an element to another section by dragging it in the Tree panel.

The only workaround is using Page \> Edit code.

This happens consistently in one specific project but not in others.

The project uses Tailwind CSS with a local DaisyUI CSS file.

Does anyone know this issue and how to fix it?

I’m running into the same issue. Pinegrow freezes on me every time I copy an element. It doesn’t make a difference if I do it in Edit Code and try to type something. Then I have to force quit to get out of it.

Just wanted to add my report here in case it helps narrow down the cause.

I’m using bootstrap 5. For me it happens consistently as well, not just once in a while.

Using “Page \> Edit code” as a workaround is also not working, only freezes.

I tried deleting the cache, but that is also not a solution, only freezes.

This is not workable.

Big disappointment.

@Jokhan

In a standard setup, like a Tailwind CSS project using Pinegrow’s design panel, this issue does not come up. Since we do not have your files, I tested it with that kind of use case. It would help us to have your project so we can take a closer look at what is happening.

Please contact support and send us a download link to your full project.
