One thing to watch out for -- when you pause a batch workflow at a breakpoint, the only actions you should take are to adjust the settings of the current transformation. To enforce this I disable the main menu and tool bars as well as the image browser. If you however find some other way around this limitation, for example via keyboard shortcuts, it can cause serious problems.

In most cases there is no easy way to fix a problem like this unless you can find a way to reproduce it reliably and you give me all the steps. Once I can reproduce a problem here I can usually fix it quickly. Lacking this I can only try to imagine what sequence of events is causing the crash and try a lot of scenarios, most or all of which typically don't cause a problem.

This was not batch processing, I was working on a composite.

When the crash happened. I was trying to adjust the shape of arrowed line associated with the text box. I wanted to delete points in the line, but instead, new copies of the text box and arrowed line kept appearing.

Can you provide a repeatable scenario that causes the problem?
