masOs apple silicon version crash

[m4w13]

Environment

• TeXstudio: 4.7.2
• Qt: 6.6.1
• OS: macOs
• TeX distribution: mactex

Actual behavior

I compiled version 4.7.2.

I have compiled with poppler with qt6, internal pdf reader works fine.

Texstudio crashes when opening any auxiliary window (preference, open-file, etc.). The intel version works fine, no problems.

This may be due to the latest macOs update, there have been bug reports here reporting the intel version crashing, you fixed that, report #3395.

Please fix the same for Apple ARM.

[sunderme]

since that code runs on all other platforms, I don't see a way to debug it. Have you tried our build ?

[m4w13]

Yes, your build under intel works great. Unfortunately you don't provide a build for apple silicon, so I have to compile it myself.

I solved the problem by installing qt version 6.6.0 instead of 6.6.1. After I recompiled poppler with qt 6.6.0 and recompiled texstudio - everything worked as it should.

[m4w13]

The problem seems to be that texstudio for macOs does not currently support qt 6.6.1. Is this correct?

[sunderme]

no, the problem is that apparently qt 6.6.1 has issues on osx.

[m4w13]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I will wait for this to be fixed in qt 6.6.2 )
