Can you identify any specific sequence that leads to this freeze? With the latest patch for FM9 (9.0p250), I consistently have this problem when adjusting tab stops or indents using the ruler, with the paragraph designer showing any set of properties other than Basic. I usually prefer to set/adjust tabs visually, then Update All (using the paragraph designer or through a keyboard shortcut). Until this bug is fixed, switching the paragraph designer to the Basic set of properties first, before adjusting tabs/indents using the ruler, consistently serves as a workaround.
