I haven’t seen a new crash since those first two that happened right after upgrading to the new macOS. AI guess this bug report can be moved to the cosmic state, in that it was possibly triggered by cosmic rays.

I *think* that’s a macOS crash rather than something to do with GnuCash itself: The only reason GnuCash (or any Gtk app) would start a run loop is to show a modal dialog box and there would be a call to gtk_dialog_run on the stack. You’re right that the Gtk change between 5.12-1 and 5.12-2 wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

GnuCash has been pretty stable for me, but I’ve had a couple application crashes. At least one of them happened as I was trying to switch between two GnuCash data files (one for me and one for my dad).
