Accordance (Mac) crashing when using VERB tag entry dialog

[Chris Heard]

This is an update/continuation of https://forums.accordancebible.com/topic/35852-accordance-1408-repeatedly-crashing-on-macos-ventura/, starting a new thread because the old topic title is now outdated since the bug continues on Sonoma.

 

My Accordance continues to crash intermittently under the following conditions:

1. I am using a Hebrew text (usually HMT-W4).

2. I type some Hebrew characters into the search field and choose the exact lemma I want from the pop-up suggestions.

3. I right-click on the search field and choose Enter Tag … > Verb …

4. I click on a pop-up menu to set an option.

 

At this point, Accordance might crash. If it does not, it might crash when I click the OK button. If it does not crash, it works as expected. I have not been able to discern any predictable pattern for when it will work and when it will crash.

 

Here’s the latest crash log, from a crash that triggered after I clicked OK as described above.

If you have a sample Hebrew search I can test, I'll test this and see.
