Strange Crash While Working with Text

Recommended Posts

I was working with some text in a small banner ad when Photo 1.9.3 crashed. The odd thing is that with the crash it opened Terminal and created the following:

TRAC-xxxxxxxxxx$ /Applications/Affinity\ Photo.app/Contents/MacOS/Affinity\ Photo ; exit;

2021-06-17 13:35:04.816 Affinity Photo[2599:98660] CoreText note: Client requested name ".SFNS-RegularItalic", it will get Times-Roman rather than the intended font. All system UI font access should be through proper APIs such as CTFontCreateUIFontForLanguage() or +[NSFont systemFontOfSize:].

2021-06-17 13:35:04.816 Affinity Photo[2599:98660] CoreText note: Set a breakpoint on CTFontLogSystemFontNameRequest to debug.

Never seen anything like this before! Hopefully that Terminal session hasn't messed with anything. Crash report attached.

We haven't seen that terminal thing before and the crash reports suggests an undo operation? Does that ring a bell? 

Do you have any debugging software installed at all?

Yes, in fact it did crash when I did a CMD-Z while editing some text. And, no, not aware of any debugging software installed. I've never seen this type of crash myself on any software in Mac history! I was quite surprised to see Terminal open and that it had run something.

Chris, yes, this was a one-off. My concern is what did that Terminal session do? The nature of the commands are beyond my knowledge in Terminal, so was hoping you guys might understand what it was doing and if anything "bad" happened as a result. Just seems strange/suspicious that a crash in Photo would initiate a Terminal session of any kind! Thanks.
