1.8.6 Crash (Mac OS)
« on: 2019 January 04 19:17:45 »
Crash stack trace attached.

This looks like the most interesting part:

Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: '-[NSApplication runModalSession:] may not be invoked inside of transaction begin/commit pair, or inside of transaction commit (usually this means it was invoked inside of a view's -drawRect: method.)'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

Thanks for reporting. This problem originates outside of PixInsight's code. It looks like a Qt bug, but might also be a macOS bug. Are you running macOS 10.14 Mojave, or an older version? (this is unclear from the stack trace document).

Unfortunately, the stack trace does not provide enough information to know the true origin of the problem. Can you remember what were you doing when the application crashed? By chance, where you using the integrated web browser component, such as the documentation browser integrated with Process Explorer, or an interactive graph such as one of SubframeSelector's graphs?

Finally, can you reproduce this issue, or is it just a sporadic, unreproducible case?

At any rate, thank you for reporting this problem, and for all of the additional information you can provide. Sorry for the inconvenience.

High Sierra (10.13.6)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011)
Intel Core i7 CPU
16GB Memory

As far as I remember, I had extracted a grayscale image from a stretched copy, and just opened an interactive view in the RangeSelection process.
