macOS:Unable to create pixel format shim surface for conversion from Rgba8888 to Bgra8888

[ghost]

Tested with Avalonia 0.9.6, 0.9.9
OS is running under VMware 15:

macOS Mojave 10.14.6
Darwin 18.7.0

Got the following error:

This is a test application for CefNet. I load https://yandex.ru/ and move the mouse over the window. The application crashes within 1- 2 minutes.

Have you tried running on actual Apple hardware? There were issues with running on OSX virtual machines in the past.

[ghost]

No, I have not tried.

I just saw this issue on actual Mac hardware. Unfortunately, don't have a repo yet. Here are the details:

OSX 10.13.6
2012 MacBook Pro (13 inch)

Stack trace is:

EXCEPTION MESSAGE: Unable to create pixel format shim surface for conversion from Rgba8888 to Bgra8888

INNER EXCEPTION:

I seem to get it when tooltips are changing quickly - I have a list of items that all compute their own tooltip and running the cursor back and forth over them will cause the application to stop responding and throw the error with my Unhandled Exception handing. If you're interested, I could venture into creating a min repo

[derekantrican]

Seems to be resolved with Avalonia 0.10.0 (at least for me)

[ltetak]

This is easily reproducible on M1 macs when opening a context menu in 0.10.10.

[ghost]

Still reproducible on Macbook Pro 14 M1 (2021), macOS 12.4, Avalonia 0.10.14 and

BuildAvaloniaApp()
.With(new AvaloniaNativePlatformOptions { UseGpu = !PlatformInfo.IsMacOS })

[DmitriyYukhanov]

Still reproduces for me in Avalonia 0.10.18 in my Avalonia app which runs on Mac OS 12.6 VM when I try to show the context menu.
