Caps Lock causing Strawberry to Crash (Mac OS-14.4.1)
-
Strawberry (1.0.20) is crashing if/when I accidentally hit Caps Lock. Overall I am very happy with Strawberry, I have very few issues on Sonoma 14.4.x, so I am reluctant to update if this problem continues with later versions, I do not need any new features. I am running a very large library that is too big for iTunes/Apple Music to handle and Strawberry is working well for me, save this one issue.
This Caps Lock issue is not keyboard specific as I have used all sorts of keyboards including the Apple & Windows keyboards (Wired and Bluetooth) with the same result, so it might be a Mac-OS issue.
Any idea of what might be causing this and is there a work around?

I can't reproduce this, even with version 1.0.20. Is it in combination with something else? Could it be it exits and not directly crashes? Do you get a crash dialog afterwards?
But I only got macOS Ventura to test on, I need to make sure I have SDK properly set up for building with comparability with Ventura before I upgrade to Sonoma.
The main changes after version 1.0.20 are bugfixes, newer versions of libraries, not so much features. -
@jonas Hi Jonas, thanks for the quick reply. I have attached the message from the OS but no crash report. After your reply I am thinking it might be an Apple bug (it did start after the major OS update), I have had several minor issues since Sonoma (most have been fixed with updates) but I gave up talking to Apple about "third party" software compatibility years ago, they just finger point and say to use their software. Once again, thanks for your great work with Strawberry

Version 1.0.20 is not properly codesigned, so a wild guess from me would be that it might be blocked by the OS.
Only version 1.0.21 and newer are properly code-signed. I suggest that you try the latest release 1.0.23, it has lot's of bugfixes and newer versions of libraries. (I assume you still have access to the downloads). -
@jonas Thanks Jonas, I have downloaded the latest version and I will let you know if that solves the issues when I get a chance to install it.

@jonas Hi Jonas, I install 10.0.23 and still Pressing Caps Lock crashes Strawberry, as I don't use "Caps Lock" much at all (usually just accidentally hit it) and I use Strawberry all the time, rather than waste any more time on this I decided to disable the Caps Lock.
If you happen to find out why this might be happening I will check the forum from time to time, but with Caps Lock disabled it is working very well, no crashes
