Excel Find / Command-F crashing on Mac Tahoe (Office 2019 / Excel 16.78) – anyone else?
Excel Find / Command-F crashing on Mac Tahoe (Office 2019 / Excel 16.78) – anyone else?
Mac mini + Tahoe 26.5.
Excel 16.78 (Office Home & Student 2019).
Problem started after recent Tahoe update.
Classic Find is behaving badly and often crashes Excel.
Workflow:
- click/select a column
- Edit → Find → Find… or Command-F
- search for text or email fragments (ex: "kristin" or part of an email)
- Excel may crash or Find becomes unusable
Things already tried:
- full Excel reinstall
- blank workbook test
- new macOS test user
- Office container reset / plist tests
- preference resets
- same Tahoe version confirmed
Upper-right Microsoft Search appears, but that is not equivalent to classic worksheet Find for email-column workflow.
Question:
Is this a known Tahoe / Excel 16.78 Find bug or Search-routing issue? Has anyone fixed this or seen it resolved with a newer Excel build or update?

I have the same issue on a Macbook air M5. Crashes Excel every time. Seems to have started after the upgrade.
Anyone think that this will be fixing a future Mac upgrade or fault or we have to now all cave in and be forced to buy their paid version, and what happened to this forum it takes a half a dozen clicks and verifications just to reply and then the email notification doesn't even have the lin to the thread
