Bug in ticket editing

Question

Hi guys,
whenever I try to add a description or comment to a ticket (created by myself), Jira "crashes". My colleague has the same problem. That means I cannot activate the fields "Description" and "Add a comment". I am forced to reload the page. Where could the error be? Is there anything to do in the settings?

Try a different browser. Or run your browser will all extensions/addons disabled. (running in incignito mode is a quick way to do this.

I have seen browser extensions break things in jira before.

Well, maybe "crash" is the wrong word. Instead, the page no longer reacts and fields can no longer be selected and edited.

I.e. If I open a ticket and click on "comment" to enter a text, the page hangs completely. I can neither select and choose another field (e.g. "Author" or "Assign") nor can I close the ticket window.

Finally I have to reload the page.

When I enter a ticket from my mobile phone using the Jira app, I can edit the Comment and Description fields.

I see. When you say it “crashes” exactly what are you seeing? I have never witnessed what I would cause a “crash”, e.g. the SW throws an exception.
