Thanks for reporting. From my perspective, this looks to be unrelated to Rectangle.
Kernel Panics are primarily caused by only two things, hardware faults and third-party kernel extensions.
The kernel extension backtrace is two Apple kexts, and there's
BSD process name corresponding to current thread: com.apple.photos
To me, this points to a hardware fault with your external monitor.
If you have any 3rd party kexts (I can't really tell from the kexts listed), then I would first try to disable them.
@rxhanson so i tested it for 2 more days. Today it crashed without Rectangle
. Anyway thank you for your time and help.
Thanks for following up. I was also thinking that you may have seen more kernel panics with Rectangle running because Rectangle makes macOS calls to obtain display information, and maybe an external monitor hardware fault could be exposed more often with certain software requests? Just a guess.
macOS version: Catalina 10.15.5 Rectangle version: 0.31 I got a new 4k Display (BenQ PD2700U) which is connected via USB C. For weeks everything was fine till i use Rectangle. My Macbook freezes and reboots. Every hour or so it crashes. Now that i removed Rectangle i can use my Machine for 8 hours without problems. Tomorrow ill try to install Rectangle and see what happens.
Nevertheless great project. Keep on goin guys.
I got this Kernel Panic Message.
