I think it's a crash from Qt, but not from this new UI code. That's because I have been getting hard crashes for weeks at least. I did not used to get them, so I'm thinking it's something about a particular version of Qt, or a Windows update (In fact, I had an update recently).
I think it's Qt because I get error events in the Windows Event Viewer, and they usually give an error code that indicates a buffer overrun in Qt (I'm also sometimes getting a new crash when I try to open Freewin, but that's something different - a cross-thread deadlock). Here is an example of an error report I've been getting: Faulting application name: python.exe, version: 3.10.9150.1013, time stamp: 0x638fa05d *Faulting module name: Qt6Core.dll, version: 6.4.1.0, time stamp: 0x636a3508* *Exception code: 0xc0000409* Fault offset: 0x0000000000011918 Faulting process id: 0x460c Faulting application start time: 0x01d955e06c2acb33 Faulting application path: C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe *Faulting module path: C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\PyQt6\Qt6\bin\Qt6Core.dll* Report Id: 29c7eb9c-6cde-46f3-98eb-a05b5e44f4dc Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: The exception code has been reported as: EXCEPTION_CODE : 0xc0000409 (“The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application”) The other exception code I get is 0xc0000005, which is means "access denied". That usually means an attempt to access memory that the app is not allowed to (e.g., a buffer overrun), but presumably in the heap. To see these events in the Event Viewer: 1. Open the Event Viewer as an administrator; 2. In the viewer, select Windows Logs/Application; 3. In the right-hand panel, click on "Filter Current Log"; 4. In the dialog that comes up, check "Error", then in the edit line labeled "Includes/Excludes Event IDs", type *1000*. 5. Click on *OK*. BTW, I save *all the time*. Am I thinking instead of typing? CTRL-S. I could never lose 30 minutes of work. Old habits die hard, I guess, but it's an ass-saver. On Sunday, March 26, 2023 at 8:11:50 AM UTC-4 Edward K.
