Crashes when closing project

pseudo-bash · Post by **pseudo-bash** » Sun Nov 24, 2019 11:46 pm

I've tried closing it either with Ctrl-W or with clicking the button. Also with selecting the window from the top bar and selecting close. (I'm running XFCE.)

Come to think of it, I think the error only comes up in these circumstances:
I have multiple projects open.
AND
I close a previous project (not the most recent one).

I think that it works fine to close projects when I begin with the one most recently opened.

Hm. That's interesting.

Yes, the BUG and all that text is just copied directly from the terminal window.

What is your response when Audacity prompts you to save the project?

The crash happens prior to saving being an option. Generally I save the project before opening a new one anyway.

A fix was committed 4 days ago for a "crash on close" bug (https://github.com/audacity/audacity/co ... b396957b7a) I have no way of knowing if this will fix the problem for you, but it sounds like it could be. The fixed bug was due to a "race condition", and that could account for why you see the crash and I don't.

Interesting. Is this something I can try updating to fix, or would it be better to wait until the next stable release?

Have you every built a C/C++ application from the source code?
