Can anyone shed light on OSX crash report?

Targets macOS
1

This report… any clues as to what the cause is? I have to go a long way down before I see anything ‘my code’ related.
Its an app built with 2013 r3 running on El Capitan

Are you running in full screen mode ?

3

But that’s usually where the problem lies.

Fair dos…

I have a theory that it may be a permissions issue on the machine.
In File Quit I write preferences to file.

5

Looks more like quitting from full screen mode but that’s just a guess

6

is that a ‘thing’?

7

is what a ‘thing’ ?

8

I had exactly that error too at some point, but I don’t remember how I solved.

I think the issue was, that I did something asynchronously or lengthy (time-wise) in the close event and then somehow the “File” menu item during that stayed blue while the app was quitting. In the end I moved the code from Close to CancelClose (to the Return False branch).

9

‘dont quit the app while it is in full screen mode because it may crash’ ?

10

It was a reported thing with El Capitan
The reason I ask is these frames in the crash log
15 is “exit full screen transition”

I know this was reported during beta’s but I’m not sure what the current status is
Hence my question about was this quitting from full screen

11

interesting. Havent heard anything of this in the non-beta forum.

i’ll pass that along.
Should we try to exit full screen in code before closing?

12

Good question since [quote=229352:@Norman Palardy]I’m not sure what the current status is[/quote]

13

Wasn’t this the bug in 2015r2 and lower where the app crashed at exit when using fullscreen in the Captain?

14

Yes.

15

It was also reported during beta for R3 / R3.1

16

OK…
So in CancelClose I added

[code] if me.FullScreen then
MsgBox “I was in fullscreen”
me.fullscreen= false
else
MsgBox “I was not in fullscreen”

end if[/code]

even when the window is fullscreen, me.fullscreen is ‘false’
This could be tricky…

17

Theres no ‘maximised’ property either. Hmm

18

Easy to create one that you set true in the Maximize event and false in Resized.

19

Nice!

Put this code in a module

Function isFullScreen(extends w as window) As boolean #If TargetCocoa then Const NSFullScreenWindowMask = 16384 declare function mStyleMask lib "AppKit" selector "styleMask" ( ref as integer ) as integer Return Bitwise.BitAnd( mstyleMask( w.handle ), NSFullScreenWindowMask ) = NSFullScreenWindowMask #EndIf End Function
