Keynote crashes when editing a table cell

Hey BrianK90,

im experiencing the exact same problem that JavaJam described.

Updating Keynote or reinstalling didn't help.

It seems like the crashes start, when more than one table is used in the keynote file.

Are there any other suggestions to fix this?

This problem has been around for a long time now. Not only happens when editing cells but any minor change to a table may crash too. I'm surprised this is not reported more often

Any solution for that?

Is Apple aware of this problem?

Hey JavaJam,

We recommend that you try testing this out while under safe mode to further isolate the issue: How to use safe mode on your Mac

Also, make sure that you check for an app update for Keynote from the App Store: How to manually update apps on your Apple device

How to manually update apps on your Mac

1. Open the App Store.

2. In the sidebar, click Updates.

3. Click Update next to an app to update only that app, or click Update All.

If that doesn't help, you can try deleting the app and then reinstalling it from the App Store: Uninstall apps on your Mac

Cheers!

I managed to add several tables into a presentation and suddenly it crashes whenever I make 2 or three edits to the cells of any table.

Tried re-install, reboot, etc.

Workaround, so far, is to just edit the tables in Numbers and paste them in. So far so good, but not ideal.

In at least one relatively simple case I found a better workaround, but I'm not sure if this works on all cases, or whether I was just lucky somehow. I created an empty Keynote document, then copied and pasted the slides from the broken/crashing document to the empty document. I can now edit tables and cells on the newly created document, basically forgetting or trashing the old one, and the new document has not crashed so far for me (why?)
