Master Pages Crash

[hawk]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new document with default settings (non-facing pages).
2. Create a new master page.
3. Change document settings to enable facing pages.
4. Create a new master page.
5. Double-click the two master pages back and forth a few times.

The first time I did this I actually got a kernel panic. My computer immediately shut down and restarted. It's rare that this happens to me so it was very surprising and exciting! Luckily I didn't lose anything important.

Hi hawk

Are you still getting this crash in build 58? I've been switching between master page for a while now and not  had any crashes

Cheers

seems to be something related to the graphics driver - can you try using different Display options from the preferences / Performance tab. (Metal, Open GL Basic).

This could possibly also be a Mavericks issue

Yes, it still crashes in build 58. Specifically when switching between a facing and non-facing master page.

@Pauls I tested 'OpenGL (Basic)' and Software. OpenGL was the default selection and Metal is disabled for me.

It crashed and kernel-panicked in every case.

Sometimes it freezes upon trying to create the second master page, with the master page settings window partially faded away. Sometimes it crashes the first time I try to switch between the masters and sometimes only after 3-5 times switching back and forth.

No artboards, I just created a new document with default settings.

It's not affecting any work for me by the way. I just happened to run into this while pocking around.

Please enjoy your day.
