Xlights stops and produces a report when I try to copy and paste #4559

I am trying to add several mini-trees. When I copy and paste, the program stops when I paste. It seems to only happen always when I use "command" V to paste on my mac-book. It happens sometimes when I use menu>file>paste.

I have tried it with different objects (Tree, snowflake, singing bulb). All get the same results.

2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 OS. Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224) xLights version 2024:10

Steps to reproduce the behavior: (and/or link to a short video showing the problem with audio track describing what you are doing)

  1. Be in the layout tob
  2. click on an object (snowflake, minitree, whatever)
  3. while holding down the command key and push the "c" key to copy
  4. click somewhere else in your layout - an empty space
  5. Hold down the command key and type the "V" key to paste
  6. Immediately you get a message from xlights.

If you haven't already, please turn on the system settings to share crash data with the app developers. To do that, go to: System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Analytics & Improvements and turn on the "Share Mac Analytics" setting and also the "Share with App Developers" setting. This provides more information to the xLights developers than just our normal crash logs.

  1. When you press "OK" in the text pop-up box, everything closes.

  2. A debug report is generated. Press OK and it is sent.

  3. Reopen xLights

  4. click on an object

  5. go to menu > File > Copy

  6. click elsewhere in the layout that is empty.

  7. go to menu > file> paste

  8. a copy of the object appears. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it crashes. Sometimes I get lucky and can copy and paste.

Duplicate of #4551 and also I fixed it last week. It’s in the nightly build or wait for 2024.11 release
