Hi there
We experience Page Unresponsive Errors and Crashes on the Book Info page, since Release 6.16.0

Steps to reproduce the crash almost immediatly:

  • Open Book Info page
  • Scroll to Subjects
  • Click in Additional Subjects
  • Impatiently click somewhere else → Page Unresponsive Error

We are able to reproduce it on a fresh installation. Does anyone else experience the same problem?

Let me know if I can provide further information.

Hi @STC-Digital that release replaced the old combo boxes used in the book info page with a custom-build, more accessible web component: @pressbooks/multiselect - npm. Depending on your installation method, it may not be present in your build. We strongly encourage people to use Bedrock
-based installs and manage dependencies with Composer
when self-hosting. If you have server access you could also try going into the directory where Pressbooks is installed and running npm i and composer install && composer update to see whether the issue was missing or un-updated dependencies? If not – can you share the diagnostics page for your install (you can find it at https://YOURNETWORK.URL/wp-admin/options.php?page=pressbooks_diagnostics along with screenshots of any error messages you see in the browser console when viewing the book info or other pages that are having problems?
