Feedback Case Title: 64509 - IDE on Apple arm-64 crashes with datecontrol (IDE crashes)

We have sudden crashes in the IDE this seems to happen alot on a daily basis since 2021 R1 on MacOS ARM-64 Big Sur systems. This crash is so dooming that when working with 2021 R1 we are unable to continue for longer than 20 minutes using this version any longer on Native ARM-64.

Crash happens if the IDE window is moved (dragged) or something is changed on anther screen for example. The report seems to indicate something to do with moving the IDE window but we’re not sure what’s the actual problem. Here is the crash report:

Xojo: Xojo 2021r1

Steps: On (2021 R1) a MacBook Pro M1 the IDE constantly crashes out of the blue with this log:

Are you sure you have latest DateControl ?

The crash log shows very old issue that was fixed many months ago. It was issue in porting to ARM which I could not isolate at first while I was waiting to get access to M1 Mac, then it got fixed in begin of December.

3

We have installed the latest plugin controls including datecontrol.
Do we need the others too? Typelib etc to be the latest?

4

Xojo is stable here with DateControl on M1. Just the computer is not stable.

So and you use 2021R1 natively eg non-rosetta?

6

Yes.

7

Thanks, we’ll try some more. It would be great if @Björn_Eiríksson has it’s plugins in a complete package including the dependend plugins where there was a list of fixes like MBS has.

8

It does not crash here.

MacBook Pro 8/512
Xojo 2021r1
Big Sur 11.2.3

9

There is no dependent plugin.

If you go in Help → Plugins inside Xojo then what version does it say ?

10

DateControl 9.2.0 current and was the same with 2020R2.1 we used.
So the version number has not changed on your plugin?

Plugin version was 8.5.0 on 2021R1 previously when crashing.

11

I do not know what you mean by version number has not changed.

9.2 is latest version.

I have been hammering it back and forth in the IDE and like the others am not able to crash it. That does not mean it does not crash. There could be some setting on it maybe that the others do not have, and I am not thinking of when testing.

Maybe post snaps of the property settings you got on the control you think is crashing ?

Or make empty project and drag date control on it and does that crash for you ?

12

DateControl 9.2.0 current and was the same with 2020R2.1 we used.
So the version number has not changed on your plugin?

exuse, we had 8.5.0 installed previously. Not 9.2.0. So it could be the plugin being the cause.

13

8.5 has the issue from before December yes.

14

We are currently still testing if this is the actual cause, we’ll be using the ide for today with the newer plugins to see if this fixed the issue.
Thanks @Björn_Eiríksson and @Beatrix_Willius for the info.
