Hi Will, John, Steve, & GnuCash users & developers,
Has anyone noticed this switching data files crash on another operating
system besides MacOS 26 Tahoe?
Has anyone else noticed this switching data files crash with another
version of GnuCash than 5.12-1 & 5.12-2?
Does the ARM or (whatever the other processor for Mac's is) matter for
this switching data files application crash?
Thanks!
Bradley

I have two machines running MacOS 26 (Tahoe). GnuCash works fine on
both. Lately, after every software update, the first time I open
GnuCash, I get a message warning me it is in use by another program.
I just click on "Open Anyway", and it works fine, including
switching data files.
Best wishes,
Will

Thanks for the report. 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.

of the risks of installing the new OS releases on the first day is
incompatibilities. 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).

5.12-2 versions will matter since the announcement for that release
mentioned a GTK bug with displaying contextual menus.
