Repeatable crasher on Mac when using 3D views

[neilweinstock]

This problem has been around a while, doesn't seem to be fixed in the current unstable build so I'm reporting in hopes it can be fixed before the next release. It only manifests on the Mac; I'm not sure it happens on everyone's Mac but a number of people on TRF confirmed that they have the same problem, so it's not only me.

Whenever you select any of the 3D views (Figure, Unfinished, or Finished) it works fine, but then switching back to one of the 2D views or quitting the program while the 3D view is still up will cause OR to crash. Sample log file is attached.

In my testing of the latest version I have, it didn't crash every time I switch to a 2D view, but if I switch back and forth a couple times it will crash pretty quickly.

Thanks,
Neil

Very cool reports Neil. I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts to help by reporting these things. We're a pretty quiet list but I promise that folks are paying attention and that your work is adding value. Thanks, Wes

So it appears that checking "Use off-screen rendering" fixes this, at least for the few who've tried it so far. Is there any disadvantage to using off-screen rendering, any reason it's not checked by default?

As requested by Daniel: my machine is an iMac with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB. However, anecdotally, pretty much every Mac user I've heard from has this problem, so I don't think it's graphic card-specific, but I could be wrong.

Well apparently, I'm the 1/10000 mac user who doesn't get the problem..... Because the 3d views arent working for me *at all* :/

for what it is worth, it would seem that off-screen rendering fixed the issue in OR v15.03 for me also on two machines:

1. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6 (15G1611), Oracle Java 8, Update 151

2. MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2013), 1.3Ghz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1600MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536MB, running OSX Sierra 10.12.6 16G29, Oracle Java 8 update 91

Is this fixed in the latest unstable builds? The jogl libraries have been updated which handles some known mac os x bugs. If this can't be reproduced on unstable, I'd like to close this one out.

I haven’t gotten a jar file from the mainline unstable in a long time. If I can get one I’ll be happy to double-check this one, and some others as well. * Neil

Ask and ye shall receive:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mse2igh2ngba4yz/OpenRocket-unstable-1c7171ef.jar?dl=0

Its the latest from unstable, based on commit 1c7171e

[neilweinstock]

Thanks, most helpful. I cannot reproduce this error with the latest build you provided. Tried with off-screen rendering disabled.

[neilweinstock]

I guess I shall close this one, seems to be fixed in latest unstable build.
