Mac crash after quit 2018r2

I’m getting an awful lot of crashing after quitting my apps in DebugBuild since updating to the latest IDE (haven’t tried built apps yet). These crashes did NOT happen in earlier versions of the IDE. The crash logs are all very similar, here are a couple of examples. I get the second type more often than the first:

What are you doing during quit?

Same.

Nothing.

The problem is, I have no idea how to reproduce it as it is inconsistent and doesn’t seem to affect built apps.

Me neither. Good to hear that it doesn’t happen for built apps, since I hadn’t tried yet … was worried that they would show the same behaviour, since “crash after quit” is a problem I’ve certainly run into before. The difference is, in the past the crash reports have shown me some reason for the crash - some object or method in my code, and I have been able to fix the problem. These reports tell me nothing about my code. They look like something to do with AppKit or the Xojo framework.

Maybe it’s related to these crashes and they happen with build apps: <https://xojo.com/issue/52630>

Needs a response to keep it open…

It’s over 10 days and still open, maybe there is a private response?

Same here. I feel think there is some memory trashing going on that is subtle but deadly.

All responses from non-xojo employees to beta tickets are marked as private, its a bug that’s been reported.

Glad (well, not really, but you get my drift) I’m not the only one that’s seen this.

Yeah, its a bit annoying as I’m just reading a one sided conversation, if I had something to input into the discussion it might have been said already so I just don’t bother. Shame really as xojo could be missing out of valuable public input. I guess it’s not that important. <https://xojo.com/issue/50781> <https://xojo.com/issue/51053>

Is this perhaps the “calling Quit in a Close event” bug that’s causing the issue? I think it started with 2018r1. I have heard that 2018r2 fixes it, but I’m not wealthy enough to know for sure.

I had to stop calling Quit in my window Close event, and instead fire a 1ms timer that in turn calls Quit in its Action event.

The response is private because i had to attach a project which needs to stay confidential.

I have this bug even in a build app. appeared for me in 2018r2 (but I did not use 2018r1 …)
for now it happens on 64bits apps, but I did not notice it on 32bits apps.

Edit: I still have the bug with a 32 bits app, but it appears really less often than in 64bits app.

Some things might cause this like:
If you use addhandler on timers for example you have to removehandler and nil the timer before closing tue window or it will crash.

This issue is not debug only. It happens with build versions too.'I use Sams declares to bypass this issue with succes. Do a search here (there are several threads about this).

Although this is indeed something you need to take care off, it isnt related to the OP issue.

I used Tim’s declares and they don’t solve the problem.

are they the same as Sam’s ?
