Problems adding a new contact card

I select 'new contact' (plus sign) and it brings up a blank card, but almost before I can type in any information, the card closes. I've learned to put in a name, at least, so I can find and edit the card in stages. I have no idea why this might be happening. I am running macOS Monterey v. 12.6 on a MacBook Pro. It's been happening since I first updated to Monterey and possibly before that.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Hey there, Xena666,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. To troubleshoot issues with an app on your Mac we recommend starting with the steps below, taken from If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support. They directly address situations like you've described, where an app closes unexpectedly:


1. Quit and reopen the app
Quit the app, then open it again. If the app won't quit, force the app to quit. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
 
2. Restart your Mac
Restart your Mac. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
 
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, then click Updates. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your Mac. Or if you didn't get the app from the App Store, look for updates to the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.


If you still need help after that, please reach out to Apple Support directly. They'll have access to additional tools and resources they can use to further assist. You can do that here: Get Support.


Have a wonderful day.
