A bug in Google Docs is causing it to crash when a series of words are typed into a document opened with the online word processor.

A Google Docs user, Pat Needham brought up the issue on Google Docs Editors Help forum.

"I've only tried in Google Chrome, with documents from three separate Google accounts. All three experience this same issue," wrote the user.

While Needham publicly reported the bug, it appears that the issue was discovered by Eliza Callahan who was writing a poem novel for her novel using Google Docs.

A YCombinator HackerNews reader suspected the cause to be the "Show grammar suggestion" option in Google Docs, which in our test was turned on by default.

Use the Google Docs mobile app to access the document, remove the offending words and the file should now open up gracefully on your Google Docs web version too.
