It’s sort of a strange thing to do, as a user, but if you have a viewer open for a panel COMP and you create a Select COMP, point it to the panel COMP, and then attempt to open a view on the Select COMP.
I’ve encountered this a few times over a number of builds, so I don’t think it’s a new issue.
When it crashes like this, it somehow bypasses the normal crash recovery mechanism (no CrashAutoSave.toe, etc)>
I just tried this in the startup toe with a container and select pointing to the container. Builds 32bit 20840 and build 64bit 20660. No crash with either. Is this a random crash or does it crash every time for you? Do you have a file you can post or send to support where this happens consistently?
The attached project will have some errors when it opens, because it depends on a bunch of other things, but if you right click the purple COMP in the middle named “ui” and select “View…” it will crash. It does the same thing even when all the dependencies are there, but if you want to see the full set of files, it’s up at github.com/t3kt/order.
I tried creating a basic example with just a single Button COMP, but the error didn’t occur.

When I follow your instructions, it is hanging rather than crashing. That’s probably why there’s no CrashAutoSave.toe. As far as I can tell, the internal components are constantly being set to two different sizes. A number of the width parameters are set relative to their parent, so is it possible that your Select COMP have a different size than the other viewer?
I’ll have to see if I can set up a simple case and get this sorted out sometime.
Hanging (instead of crashing) was what I was referring to (so I probably should have named this thread differently).
It’s a bizarre case, so it’s probably not worth devoting too much time to it, but I figured it might be of interest.
