Hi Lester,
the bug that caused the crash has been reported several times [1] and 
has been already fixed after various attempts [2].

The fixes will land in the upcoming QGIS 3.30.2 release.

In the meantime, you can workaround the issue even in QGIS 3.30.1 by 
going to "Settings->Options..." -> "Map Tools" -> "Predefined Scales" 
and click on the "Reset to default scales" button in order to restore 
the predefined scales, populate the map scale listbox and avoid the crash.

Best regards.

Andrea
