[macOS - Ventura] native exception when un-maximizing window

[tvolkert]

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the following app in macOS (flutter run -d macos). Note the actual content of the app doesn't matter.

   void main() {
     runApp(const ColoredBox(color: Color(0xffff0000)));
   }

2. Maximize the app by hitting the green button in the window trim
3. Restore the window to its normal size by either hitting the green button again or hitting the escape key on the keyboard

Expected results

You expect nothing out of the ordinary to happen.

Actual results

The following native stack trace shows up in the console:

Same here. Having these stacktraces for all MacOS app (debug mode, haven't tested release) when focusing or defocuing window (basically, switching between Flutter app and others)

Any ideas on how mitigate it or if it's being investigated?
I use MacOS native build as a default development case (faster and simpler than debug with emulators or real devices), so this bug makes reading debug output almost unusable as it pollutes the output on every switch.

[bleroux]

@divan Can you confirm you see this on MacOS Ventura? I can't repro this issue on Monterey (12.6).

[Innovaitec0]

I have the same Issue with all of my Projects after upgrading to MacOS Ventura.

[bleroux]

This issue is not specific to Flutter (it was reported too for other UI toolkits, see links above for similar reports on Electron and TKinter).

The following stackoverflow answer might help mitigate this issue while waiting for a fix: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74609260/r-warnings-errors-in-a-fresh-install

[Innovaitec0]

Workaround works for me. Thanks!

[gspencergoog]

Closing this, as it doesn't appear to be Flutter specific. (Desktop Triage)

[divan]

@bleroux thank you! That worked!

To save others' time of clicking the link above - this issue is related to the "Hide Menubar" option in MacOS Settings. (Settings -> Desktop & Dock -> Automatically hide and show the menu bar)

Values "In Full Screen Only" or "Never" show stop this output.

[tvolkert]

So we're saying this is likely going to be fixed in a future OS update?

[bleroux]

This issue is still repro on Ventura 13.2.1.

Similar reports on various UI toolkits:

• Electron: [Bug]: macOS Ventura 13.1 logging fullscreen window data electron/electron#36891
• TKinter: Tkinter causing unwanted output in most recent macOS python/cpython#101067
• Tauri: [bug] [macOS] Window maximize regression in tauri 2.x tauri-apps/tauri#6287
• AWT: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-5244

[ollyde]

For those who always hide the menu bar to reduce clutter and don't use full screen mode, you can set a filter in VSC.

Good news, this issue was fixed by Apple on Ventura 13.3.1.
