Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have no idea why, but since this morning, all presentations I have opened have crashed when I press the tab key OR use the Indent tool to indent a text in the text box.
I have uninstalled the app and restarted the computer but that didn't help
Any thoughts?
This is a MAJOR problem and is a showstopper bug. It needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY. Setting custom text in a presentation master is integral to presentation design -- and tabbing for indent level is unavoidable. Having it crash with every tab press is RIDICULOUS.

Found the culprit :)
This ONLY happens if, in the text master, you have applied different text styles.
Example:
I've been using different text styles for a while, but only now I have this problem.
I called, and they told me that the team had recently been working on the Indent functionality.
I assume, based on this, that the crushes are due to a bug, and the contact center raised the issue to the team.
Get EXACTLY the same problem here and no turnaround possible ...
This is incredibly frustrating and also happening to me. Please address ASAP, Apple.
Sorry, but no.
i had to remove styling from text box while editing.
When done editing, I have to manually restyle 🤬
and remove styling if further esiting is required.
oh how I wish they would prioritise this bug fix..
Same problem here. This is completely INADMISSIBLE !! I use keynote almost every day for my work, I really can't understand how the h*ll this bug was introduced in the program. WE NEED AN URGENT FIX !!
I have the same issue on several Macs, but it happens only when all the following conditions are met.
A workaround is to copy a nested list from your old slides and paste it in the slide you are editing now.
This is unfortunately what Apple has increasingly become - it just doesn't work. Preview crashes when exporting between formats sometimes, I need to quit and start if I want to process more than one image, and I need to save TIFFs twice for them to LZW compress. As for Keynote, I have the same problem but found that if I open the same presentation on my iPhone or iPad, I can indent. If the file is open on the Mac (editing at the same time) it will update with the new indenting. So my fix is to get the basic text, images and animations completed on the Mac and then use Keynote for iPad to finish with the indentation. I haven't tried with keynote on-line but that might work too. Disgusting.
I can't believe they haven't fixed this issue yet... I'm working on a presentation I'm about to give in one hour... Can't make any changes now that involve pressing the Tab key. Come on, guys! You can--and honestly, should--fix this!!
Unbelievable.
Dear Apple QA Director,
Please add the following test to any app revisions:
I had the exact same problem. Thank you.
So is there any way to prevent keynote from crushing still using different text styles? I'm confused because it used to work fine.
I have the same problem but it's occurring on BODY text. Just checked to see if they've done anything about it and crickets....
I was contacted by the iWork team and they suggested I upgrade to Sonoma.
I did that, and the issue seems to be gone.
