Everything related to page style leads to a crash
I want to make a few minor adjustments to the style of a few of my pieces' pages, but I'm unable to because MuseScore freezes and crashes every time I press "Style," "Page settings," or "Load style." I've also tried the Formats dropdown, Properties, and Preferences, yet nothing works. I've also made sure my copy of MuseScore is up to date and that all of my Muse Sounds have been updated, but the problem persists.
The playback, mixer, and actual music editing are all normal for me. Only the style editing is broken. Is this happening to anyone else?

Your best bet is to attach the score (i.e., the .mscz File) that crashes, so someone here can have a look.

Barring that, you can try a factory reset.

It might depend on what OS you’re using and how it’s installed—Linux for me. I’ve definitely had MS 4 AppImage crash when loading/saving styles. The usual Arch packaged version has not been updated, so I’ve been using the Flatpak version which just disappeared in the middle of typing a song. This version seems much more unstable.

I use the official appimage, and it is perfectly stable.
Who exactly is responsible for packaging MS into a flatpack?

Are you using the 4.4.3 AppImage? GNOME, KDE, something else?
I have no idea who makes the Flatpak, but it seems to get updated fairly quickly. The Arch package is still at 4.3.2.

Appimage 4.4.3 (or any other 4x appimage since a long time) - Gnome classic on Ubuntu.
