Electron App

Sample project to reproduce this Electron issue: "openExternal url crash on macOS Sierra"

Steps

I've just edited electron/main.js file adding thoose lines

mainWindow.webContents.on('new-window', function(e, url) {
    e.preventDefault();
    electron.shell.openExternal(url);
});

Then in www/index.html

<h4>
    This is a <a href="https://google.com" target="_blank">Link</a>
</h4>

When running in electron, clicking on "Link" will cause a crash of the app after a few seconds.
