I have a problem with Region Playlist: On MAC OSX 10.7.4, newest reaper pre 64bit
newest SWS prerelease

If the Region Playlist is docked I can´t close the Playlist anymore after opening it.
Closing adds another docked playlist.
So after trying to close a region playlist for say 5 times I end up with 6 docked Region Playlists.
I can the one Playlist with clicking the little x. After trying to close another PL Reaper crashes.

All this doesn´t happen when open/closing a non-docked Playlist.

Thanx Wolfger

can't repro here (osx lion reaper64). this is a weird one..

please Wolfger can you:

1. attach or copy/paste the osx crash dump here?
2. attach you reaper.ini file here (or copy/paste the FULL content of its "[sws]" section here
3. then remove the entire "[sws]" section from that ini file => does it fix the issue? (please, make sure you have done 2) first!)

thank you in advance!

As requested her are the attached files.
I removed the [SWS] swection from the ini file --> same problem.
It only happens when Region Playlist Window is docked. I can´t open close RPL anymore via the menu or key command. I can´t remember which prerelease this started to happen. Maybe some weeks ago.
i also attached a screenshot with multiple RPL docked.

Many, many thanks for all the detaile, Wolfger! I really appreciate it!!

Unfortunately I still can't repro (tried hard) even when I use your attached REAPER.ini. No prob here on 32/64bit on OSX, Win XP and Win7..

Your inputs show that there is something deepely wrong here and the crashlog you have posted confirms that too!

I have more Qs for you (sorry to bug you about that, and thanks in advance for hanging on!) :

• please, can you list the files you have in ~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/UserPlugins/ ? (this issue smells like a duplicated sws.dylib..)
• you can repro this issue with any SWS/S&M dockable window, right?
• did you use the brand new close button (that appeared in v4.216pre) on docked view's tab? if so, do you still repro the issue with the last official REAPER version v4.25 (<- on a sidenote, reporting bugs based on bleeding edge REAPER pre-releases is always a bit complicated to investigate for us..)

@tim: if you read this/have a moment, can you try to repro on your end?

OK, I did a complete clean install with REAPER 4.25 official release.
Problem still exists.

1. I only have newest SWS 2.3.02 reaper_sws.dylib in the user plug in folder
2. I can repro this issue with other SWS dockable windows, track manager for example.(did not try all)
3. if several SWS docked wiindows opened I can close the first one with the little x button, trying to close another one reaper crashes.

I attached reaper.ini of the clean install reaper folder and the crashlog of the clean install reaper 4.25 crashing.

thamx for taking care, wolfger

Summary: OSX docking issue: multiple docked windows instances + crashes

No problem, I´m leaving for holidays tomorrow too.

Meanwhile I made a clean install of the oldest reaper and SWS extension I have laying around which is Reaper 4.23pre18 and SWS 2.2.0.14 and the problems are the same. No idea why I didn´t realize this one earlier, hhmm.
My workaround meanwhile is closing the docked window via srceenset recall.

Have a good time,
wolfger

Issue 503 has been merged into this issue.

[Jeff0S]

From jeffos...@gmail.com on August 21, 2012 12:50:29

ok, some progress..
Weird, indeed: I can now repro on OSX (on both 32&64-bit) -BUT- only when using the stock SWS v2.3.0.2. When I use the one I build/compile (w/ sws patched WDL) locally here, no bug, everything is ok (that's why I could not repro in a first time..).

So, this looks like a build issue and I somehow have a fix since mine is OK...

Weird, indeed. I will have to take a look on my build machine and see if I can repro it there...

hi Tim! Unfortunately, my working OSX project is not the stock one: base SDK 10.7, project migrated to XCode4 and I build fat binaries but I had to drop PPC support here. Let me know if that project can help though!

From greg.so...@gmail.com on August 22, 2012 11:31:35

any word on this issue? If a fix doesn't seems likely in the near future, can you tell me which version to roll back to that will avoid this.

thanks

I haven't had a chance to look. If I don't get it fixed tonight it will be several days before I will have a chance again.

I don't know how far back you have to go, but it's before 2.2.0.14 per wolfger above. Try 2.2.0.2 if you like, http://www.standingwaterstudios.com/reaper/2.2.0/sws_osx.dmg
