Background mode crashes when option "show with clock" is active #30

Closed Waitsnake closed 6 years ago

Background mode crashes when option "show with clock" is active too. This issue not affects the normal screensaver mode though.

It always crashes with an "Segmentation fault 11" when ScreenSaverEngine is startet with option "-window" and "show with clock" is active too.

This is an bug of ScreenSaverEngine and even Screensavers that comes with the System are crashing under the same conditions. But since in macOS an normal user don't use the "-window" option (this feature is for developers of screensavers) this bug was hidden and not relevant.

The option "-background" that I used before did not crash with the clock active, but I needed to switch from "-background" to "-window" because of issue #28 .

Sorry this is a "wont fix" for the moment.

I found a workaround for this issue too. Well I can't fix the ScreenSaverEngine, but the screensaver clock will be disabled automatically in case the background mode is used. In normal mode the clock still works.
