Iphoto Keeps Crashing

My iPhotos keep crashing every time I look to Edit a Smart Album to use Keyword.


I am currently using Photos Version 5.0 (161.0.120) on Catalina version 10.15.7. I am accessing via IMAC Late 2014 Retina 5K


This does not happen if I choose date, text etc..


Anyone else have this issue?

As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? (This tells us if the problem is limited to your current library or is more wide spread) Then open your current library and test again.


Next, if necessary, log into another vanilla admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac and see if the problem persists. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).
