This is just a report and a curiosity as the problem doesn’t seem to appear with version 2025.01.13.

I have been using Open SCAD 2024.12.09 a lot without any issues. I have run dozens (if not hundreds) of models.

This is on a Mac Mini M2 Pro (Apple Silicon) running OSX 14.7 (Sonoma) with 16 GB of memory.

This morning, it started throwing a Segmentation Fault repeatably. I open a new file and create a model with the single line cube(); Preview works okay, but if I try to render or even just normalize the view, the Segmentation Fault occurs. It also fails on models that ran fine yesterday.

I ran the Mac diagnostics and it didn’t report any errors.

I ran the same simple model (cube();) as well as some of my other models on 2025.01.13 and they seem to run fine.

I reinstalled 2024.12.09 for its disk image and the Segmentation Fault is still there.

I’m just curious if anyone knows why the Segmentation Fault started happening and what’s different in 2025.01.13.

The only change to the Mac that I am aware of is an update Microsoft 365.

Do you by any chance have (or have used) multiple screens? We used to have an issue related to preferences saved from a multiple-screen setup failing to load (and crashing) and I believe it was fixed sometime late December.

You can verify this by taking a backup of the preferences plist file, then deleting it and see if the crash goes away (and if the crash reoccurs when reinstating the file).

I do have two monitors connected to the Mac.

I tried deleting the orglopenscad.OpenSCAD.plist file from Libarary/Preferences and that cleared up the seg fault with 24.12.13.

Even though I deleted the .plist file when I looked at the setup for local slicer, it was still set and correctly launched my slier.

macOS implements some odd plist caching, and I don’t quite understand how it works, which could explain how you got some features back..
