Having just spotted and experienced the first bug, I thought it may be useful to use this thread for pointing out any others that people come across.
I get a crash when trying to drag a guide onto a master page from the left-hand ruler. I was expanding on the quick responsiveness tutorial by putting three column boxes in a container and playing with what happens at the default break-points.
I’m just about to test the horizontal ruler, and whether a complete computer restart helps. Bug output reported to Apple on the standard report that appears after a crash.
The horizontal guides can be dragged onto the page without the crash.
If I drag a guide straight onto the page paste-board and immediately drop it, it appears fine. Furthermore, I can then reposition the guide wherever I want without further incident.
It’s dragging a guide and delaying dropping it — to position it mid-way over a box width — that seems to be causing the problem. The spinning wheel of doom appears, then the crash.
More test to see how long it takes delaying the drop, before the crash occurs.
OK… starting from a fresh boot-up, I was able to quickly drop a vertical guide onto the paste-board, and then use it as intended. The document no longer allows this — I get a crash almost immediately. Previously, any subsequent attempt resulted in the immediate crash.
It’s repeatable on demand.
Next up — I’ll try a fresh vanilla user account on the iMac, and report back.
Thanks for spending the time, Ian. We’ll also take a look at it internally.

Just a note here that sometimes helps with crashes and things getting slow.
Whenever I install any significant software or update onto my Mac, I generally reboot and ‘fix disc permissions’ from the recovery partition.
You’d be amazed at how often problems disappear!
Instead of dragging out of the ruler you can use the create guides dialog.
Menue->page->create guides
Then rearrange it to your needs by dragging around.
Hope that helps.
