Understood. However just now with a fresh install and not even trying to open any older/existing files I choose New > Create blank document and then try to use the text tool I get the same crash. I did find that if I hide the OIP I can then use the tool briefly before getting the death pinwheel. Maybe my best option is to borrow collegue's Mac who has VWX (since I'm limited with my single user seat and can't just go installing on any machine) without Mojave, open any old or current files that I need to work on, delete any text then save the file and hope it's usable on my Mojave machine and add any text onto a published pdf using Preview. Being a freelancer without a design firm or any support makes this difficult for sure. Can't wait to chat with the VWX reps at LDI in Vegas in a few weeks and get some insight into how they go about dealing with betas and such. Maybe they'll let me use one of their demo machines -- I'm only half joking -- it might come to that haha
