No retina display for me, although I do have two 1920x1200 displays connected
to my Mac Mini, so will be using double the amount of VRAM. But the fact it
works on a different account suggests this isn't the problem.
I have indeed tried deleting the relevant ~/Library/Saved Application
State/com.apple.QuartzComposer.editor.savedState folder, and it's not helped.
Neither has deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.QuartzComposer.editor, nor
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.QuartzComposer.editor.plist
What I'm seeing is not a crash, but rather an unresponsive state, and sometimes
an unhandled exception message - although these days those are rare. My main
symptom is that once my Quartz Composer is asked to display the Template
Chooser, it becomes unstable and windows don't appear/behave as expected. By
deleting my prefs I can get the Template Chooser to appear with the garbage
(screenshot I posted previously) but after that the window just never appears.
Just looking at my Console right now, and merely launching QC throws these:
Jul 29 18:28:49 AdrianMacMini.local Quartz Composer[12886]: *** Message from
<QCClear = 0x7fb124b38100 "Clear_1">:
