crash whilst painting (stack included)

[project_2501]

I regularly use Affinity Photo whilst screen recording using Quicktime and also a Wacom tablet - I've previously reported performance problems with very high fan and very poor latency and speed.

 

However, now I am seeing crashes.  I don't know the cause, but I've attached the MacOS crash stack log in case it helps the developers.

 

My inexpert look at it suggests a buggy attempt to address memory it shouldn't ...

Crashed Thread:        0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00003ff4a616c8b8
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Anything I can do to avoid it? Restarting the app causes the crash to happen later... which is problematic when trying to record videos...

Hey tariq,

It looks like the crash is related to organising the swatches. Is this something you do?

hi Chris, yes I think the crashes happened as a picked colours from custom swatches (which I've been doing for a long time, so I suspect a recent bug)

latest macOS, latest Wacom drivers, latest Affinity via App Store

Thanks for confirming. I will give the bug report a nudge. We first saw this at the back-end of November last year if you wanted a rough idea of when it first appeared.
