Expected Behavior

I wanted to move/set up my docks.

Current Behavior

As soon as I try to connect a dock in the layout, like for example Twitch chat, OBS crashes. More details:

• It still happens in safe mode
• If I run OBS as admin, the crashes stop (even with all my 30 plugins)
• Running a clean, new version of OBS as portable also solves it
• I tried re-running the installer. Did nothing

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open OBS
2. Create or add a dock
3. Try to "dock it" into layout
4. Crash. ...

Anything else we should know?

This is a crash deep in Qt's code. If I recall correctly, this is crashing in their RHI widgets path when reparenting a window. Unfortunately, I have never been able to reproduce this.

As requested, here is a log where it happens in safe mode: https://obsproject.com/logs/SiikdyRJuVsFUtEY

Is OBS running on your primary display at the time of the crash? If no, then can you try this on your primary display? If yes, then can you try this on a non-primary display?

[rodduarte666]

It's on a secondary. Lemme try on the main one... Yup, still crashed.

[RytoEX]

Also, could you try moving docks around in this test app I've built and see if it crashes? minimal-qdockwidget-test.zip

[rodduarte666]

So, no crashes, but the renameable dock won't dock inside the main app, not sure if this is intended :-) The Paragraphs one does move though!

[RytoEX]

Is this any kind of dock, or just browser docks? If browser docks, is it all browser-based docks, or just specific ones?

[rodduarte666]

It's any docks... I just tried it with the AdvSS one. The Twitch chat one also does it. So I've replicated it with a plugin and a browser one. And also a non-plugin one, like "scenes", while in safe mode.

[RytoEX]

Okay, so you can simply drag Scenes out of the window, drop it so it's floating, and then drag Scenes back into the window, drop it, and OBS crashes with just that?

Just in case, the crash is not v30.2.2 specific and happened before: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-crashing-when-i-detach-the-live-chat-dock.176464/

Okay, so you can simply drag Scenes out of the window, drop it so it's floating, and then drag Scenes back into the window, drop it, and OBS crashes with just that?

Yep!

[SuslikV]

Does it crashes:

1. If you simply double-click the header of the docked pane and when it floats double-click the header again?
2. If you split your Scenes into different Scene Collections? (duplicate scene collections and delete unneeded scenes from each collection, so you have only about 100 sources+scenes in each scene collection, not 1000)

[rodduarte666]

Yep, the very first double click on any dock's title bar crashes it. As for splitting the collection, I'm not gonna do that because there's no situation where I can actually use it that way. But, I did test this by creating a brand new scene collection with NOTHING in it, and double-clicking a dock's title bar still crashed it.

[SuslikV]

I think you have some unusual data saved inside global.ini file (maybe file was damaged). You can access this file from main menu File > Show Settings Folder. You can open it with "notepad++" application and find the [BasicWindow] section. There are two parameters the geometry and the DockState in which common settings for the dock panes are stored. I think, if you copy this two strings of parameter values to new (portable) OBS it should start to crash on double-click too. This global.ini settings file stored separately from Profiles or Scene Collections but loads on application startup.

[RytoEX]

If you can verify the above test crashes a new portable mode OBS, could you please send me a copy of your global.ini file and current scene collection .json file? You can also send them if you do not know how to perform that test. If you prefer to send the files privately, I am RytoEX on the OBS Studio Discord server.

Desktop.zip Here you go! I don't mind, just please make this go away :-D

Try disabling the IBM Trusteer Rapport service.

[rodduarte666]

Tried it. Nope, still crashes.

Anything on this, guys?
