2023R4 IDE Crashes

General

I’m getting a lot of crashes of the ID in 2023R4 on MacOS 14.3 on M1 mac. Seems to be on entering a new property type. Getting a little frustrating.

Am I the only one?

Top few lines of a crash report:

OK, found the culprit.
Enter a constant.
Duplicate that constant - adds “1” to the name.
Delete the 1, enter. Crash.

Looking at Issues there are a couple of related crashes in Sonoma that will be fixed on the next release. Maybe this one is related.

It looks like you are in the Testers group, maybe you can check if this is the case or you need to open a new issue.

for what it’s worth, am not seeing this crash on Ventura, I just get the error message:

Correct, the crashes are only on Sonoma.

Xojo team advises bug is fixed in 2024R1.

That’s very interesting, seems like Apple is using Swift under the hood now for system services. I wonder if you could get the same crash using their SwiftUI rather than Xojo, atop Objective-C, atop Swift.
