Hard crashes in app on Mac OS

Since times immemorial I’ve got one test case for my app where I try to resize the main window and reposition the 3 splitters to make sure that the window behaves. When I do this in different combinations the app makes a nice hard crash in Xojo (lots and lots more of what is shown below). A screenshot of the old version of the window is here: http://www.manual.mothsoftware.com/reference/Open/browser.html

This doesn’t happen when I do the resizing and moving of the splitters as a user would. Still the crash gives me a bad feeling.

Does anyone have an idea where this might come from? Mavericks, Cocoa, Xojo 2013r3.

Oh sugar. The lovely server tells me it can’t communicate and now the topic is in multiple times. Can I delete my own conversation?

Yes; this seems ti be happening with some regularity today. Even the apparent spammer/“author” of this thread seems to have fallen victim… :stuck_out_tongue:

Seems to me that it’s crashing in a textarea.
