In the Editor, Elements is correctly objecting to this bit of PHP code 😳

 ![CleanShot 2025-10-17 at 14.18.41](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/0/5001ef96af52cc84746692e3d421ac430e32c445.png)

I have now corrected the PHP code but before I did this, I right clicked on the error in the main Editor panel and clicked View Log.

Elements then locked up with a spinning coloured beachball and I had to Force Quit Elements to recover.

Hmmm, can you re-create the issue? and what version of macOS are you on?

Well, I could consistently before I corrected the code.

I am on macOS Tahoe 26.0.1.

To help with the problem resolution, I have created a quick project to demonstrate the issue: elementsapp://downloadDocument/Dr6CIwZ1Uozc 🙂

Was the project I uploaded any help in getting this issue resolved?

It is still happening in Elements Version 1.5.6. 😞
