Adding new custom shapes freezes document

I have a fairly complex diagram that uses a lot of shapes from a large custom shape library.

I’m running into a problem where the document freezes (the zoom percentage changes but the view does not change, and I can’t pan) if I try to add a shape from this custom shape library that is not already present in the document.

That is, if shape A is already in the document, I can add it no problem.  If shape B is not already in the document, adding shape B causes the document to freeze.  Sometimes the offending shape disappears right away, sometimes it doesn’t.  The shape is always gone after I reopen the document.

Creating a copy of the document doesn’t fix the problem.

Can you help? 

Please let me know how to point you to these files.  The document is a confidential work document so I cannot publicly link it.  This form doesn’t let me attach the shape library.

Hi again @Ben Tesch 

This issue has been fixed. Would you confirm that you can add your custom shapes again?

Thanks!

Yes, I received the email.  I set up a meeting for 1-1:30 CDT today via the link in the email.  Sorry for not also replying more explicitly until now.  The notification for this thread ended up in my non-focused inbox.
