Closing Copyholder after clicking on/creating comments crashes Scrivener!
Mac OS: Monterrey 12.7.4
Macbook Air 13" Early 2015, Intel
Scrivener version: 3.3.6 (16305), currently the latest update
2 Scenarios:
-
When creating a new comment within the text of a copyholder, Scrivener crashes when I close the copyholder.
-
This also happens when I reopen the project after the crash and simply click on the comment in the copyholder, then close the copyholder.
I’ve reproduced this many times, and now it’s happening every time.
Every time I reopen my Scrivener project after this crash, Scrivener has to rebuild the project’s search indexes.
I’ve enabled Scrivener to “Show internal error alerts” in Preferences>General>Warnings but every time a crash happens, the most I can get is this:
When I try to click any of the buttons, nothing works, and the scroll bar just goes wonky like it’s rapidly scrolling up and down, but the error text doesn’t move. I always have to Force Quit Scrivener.
Each time I reopen my project, my cursor goes back to the same spot in my project before these crashes began happening. Sometimes it saves what I’ve done, and sometimes the last few changes I’ve made in the project get lost and I have to redo them.
Here’s a screenshot from the latest Console.log file from the Package Contents of my project:
I had to restart my Macbook once because this crash resulted in Scrivener using up all my Memory and CPU in my Activity Monitor. So I used a program called Onyx to perform some maintenance procedures on my Mac, which resulted in the restart. The Scrivener crash still continued to happen.
I’m not sure how to get the full crash/error report since I don’t know if Scrivener saves a copy elsewhere besides in the actual error message. But will be happy to provide this if I can get instructions on how to do so. I haven’t found a way to do this in the Scrivener Manual.
