So far Safari, Chrome, Word, and Pages all crashed as soon as I use the 3-finger-tap to define a word in them. I tried starting the computer. Is there a fix? Or is it a problem with MacOs Catalina?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

You will have to trouble shoot further:
—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

My apps crash when I use the 3-finger-tap to define function in them.
