Hi all,

Got a pretty basic website, with four published pages that are not particularly big or anything; and two "masterpages" that are not published, but that undergird the four published pages. Three of the four pages publish without a hitch. Whenever I try to Publish just this fourth page, it crashes my .WBS file / my WB session on my hard-drive. Whenever I "CUT" the one and only Layout Grid objects I have on this weird crashy-page, and then attempt a publish, the page *DOES* successfully publish just fine. So just trial-and-error is seeming to show this Layout Grid object is crashing the page. And I mean, the Publish session doesn't even finish "Generating HTML Output" before it crashes. It gets to that "Generating HTML Output", and then just crashes my .EXE program.

I use layout grids all the time with no issue. Layout grids have been around for ages and nobody else has reported them causing issues.

If the rest of your pages have layout grids and publish fine then there must be something on that page, maybe a 3rd party html script or something that is doing it.
Double check everything on the page and go back to stock standard WB elements on it and publish again and see what happens.

There are no known issues with layout grids or crashes in general, otherwise these issues would have already been fixed.
If you think you have found a problem then please share a demo project and describe the exact steps to reproduce this behavior.

If you have any images in that grid make sure the names adhere to WWB requirements (no spaces, numbers to start, dashes, etc.).

If it's only 4 pages (plus masters), just zip the WWB and subdirectory up and post it somewhere we can get at. I'll have a look at it

So after a little more trouble-shooting, I got a *second* page to do the same thing--crash when I attempt a publish. And it appears to be related to the fact that maybe I am putting in too many "Event >> onscrollreveal >>Animate(css3) >> scroll-in-left" and "Event >> onscrollreveal >>Animate(css3) >> scroll-in-right" . Has anyone ever had crashes happening when you put too many instances of this Event about which I am talking on either

- too many text objects on a page
- on an IconFont on a page

?

I know it seems weird, but it seems like pages where I'm trying to do the above "Events" on an IcontFont object--it's almost like that taints the .WBS file or something. So, on this second new page that also started crashing, I removed the IcontFont totally; and put the other pieces of text that still have the Events on them up on a different Layers, and now, that page actually publishes ok.

*ANY* known thing with IconFonts and the above-mentioned "Event" causing this..?

By the way, I have uploaded the project file, here:

Edit: Link removed

please note that the page in question that is still crashing is the one called

roof-inspections.php

over on the right. I may have it set to "Don't publish" right now whenever you download this project file, but you know, to see what I'm talking about, please change that to *allow* it to publish, and see if this stuff does the same thing for you.

***Could y'all please post here when you've downloaded it so that I can take it down from my web-space, and also so that I can remove the link from this forum thread?***

I downloaded it, set the page to 'publish' and published. Sure enough, it crashed.

So it is reproduceable on other systems and I am sure Pablo will fix it soon

Alan -- nice, man; thanks for the feedback. Hopefully all of our crowdsourcing this issue could help define what, in fact, is going on. Like I say, seems to be the

Event >> onscrollreveal >>Animate(css3) >> scroll-in-right (or "left" )

Event on either

- too many Text objects
- on an IconFont object
- maybe when one or both of the above are child-objects on either Floating Layers or Floating Layout Grids

But. Who knows. Thanks~

Can you please enable the link again? I did not have a chance to download it.
I need the wbs file to see all your settings.

Here it is

@alan_sh
Thanks for sharing the project!
I was able to reproduce the problem and it has been fixed in the latest build (7/2/2021)

@etcbbu
Note that the problem has nothing to do with Layout grids, events, animations or too many text objects.
The problem was caused by the CAPTCHA on the master page.

That is why it's very important that you ALWAYS share a demo project.
I could have spend hours or days looking for a problem in layout grids, events or text objects. But I never would have found it without the project.

@alan and @Pablo,

Thank y'all for getting together about this. I love WB, and despite my weakness with programming, I appreciate the comradery.

WB IS THE BEST
