"pointer being freed was not allocated" error on Mac

[nnahito]

Thank you for the wonderful library.

I ran the following code on my Mac:

import uing
import strutils

var mEntry: MultilineEntry

proc extraction(_: Button) =
  echo repr(mEntry.text)

proc main = 
  let window = newWindow("Hello World!", 800, 600)

  mEntry = newMultilineEntry()

  let button = newButton("test", extraction)

  let hbox = newHorizontalBox(true)
  hbox.add(mEntry, true)
  hbox.add(button)


  window.child = hbox
  show window
  mainLoop()

init()
main()

It is a small program with Entry and buttons.
This code gets the value from Entry when the button is pressed.
At that time, the value is retrieved without any problem on Windows, but on a Mac, a memory error occurs.

malloc: *** error for object 0x10ccaa058: pointer being freed was not allocated
malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
SIGABRT: Abnormal termination.

Is it possible for you to correct this?
Thank you.

Thank you for this issue, this is odd. Do the examples at https://github.com/libui-ng/libui-ng work for you?
