Hi Kovid,

I’ve been trying to get a crash report today but now it’s just crashing without anything at all popping up

I will re-start my Mac and see what happens.

Hmm that does not tell me much, other than that the crash is happening
inside Qt, the toolkit calibre uses. I cannot reproduce on my mojave
machine. Is there some particular action leading up to the crash?

Just some straightforward, simple editing such as spell checking

Nothing else that I can think of

My Mac is late 2013, seems to run well with everything else. The issue appears to have started after Mojave - I have a feeling that the previous version of calibre may have crashed too (after Mojave) but I updated to 3.34.0 before I had to use it again.

Has never happened before.

Hmm hard to fix if I cannot reproduce. Feel free to try older versions
of calibre if you like, they are available from the download page.

I have the same bug, same OS, early 2018 MacBook Pro. I opened the editor to look at an Archive.org epub, and was just reviewing things, no edits, when it crashed. Later, I was able to fix a couple of typos and save before it crashed again (maybe 30 seconds of work before the crash), but it seems unrelated to my actions.

This morning I opened a book. No problem until I clicked into an HTML file within the epub. I had closed the preview window, and was just looking at the markup. Did not edit nor click in. Just crashed as I was about to scroll.

I was able to open several PNG files with no crash. When I opened the TOC.ntx and the CSS files it also crashed after a few seconds.

I saved the crash log if needed.

Post the crash log, we may get luvky and it will be more illuminating
than the previous one.

On a general note, this crash is happening inside Qt (the toolkit
calibre uses). calibre 4 will be updating the version of QT by a lot
(from 5.6 to 5.12) so we can hope it will be automatically fixed when
that happens.

Sometimes it crashes before I do anything other than open the file. Some files appear to be worse than others too.

I'm sorry the logs are not more helpful. I have done some more testing with a few professionally produced ePubs (from HarperCollins and Random House as well as the original Internet Archive file), and I can reliably get the edit module to crash when opening any HTML or CSS or other text file within the ePub document. These files all check out fine in Apple Books and other readers. No rendering or encoding errors.

Opening these files for editing, when no internal subfiles are open the program does not crash. It is also perfectly stable when reviewing image files of any size. But click on a TOC entry that opens a text file, or open a text file directly from the file list in the left panel, and it will crash without fail within three to five seconds with no additional action from the user. I didn't scroll or type. Just opened the text file to review.

Well attach one of these files that reliably cause a crash and I will
try to reproduce.

Thank you for this. Two comments:

(1) An additional bit of information I neglected to mention. I had been launching the ebook editor app independently, from a desktop shortcut and not from within Calibre, when it was crashing. I dragged an epub onto the alias linked to the app within the Calibre bundle (such a useful shortcut during ebook development).

Anyway, before I upgraded to this new version, I tested again with the direct launch, and was able to see the crash as before. Then I tested the same file after opening the ebook editor from Calibre, and the older build did NOT crash. So that seems to be a factor.

(2) The crash seems fixed in the new build. Same file. I first launched the ebook editor from within Calibre, then quit everything, then used my desktop alias to open my file directly from the desktop, and it's fine.

So thanks again.

Apologies, still getting the crash

The error occurs when I open the app from a right-click on the file.

The app appears to be stable if opened from within calibre.

Pretty sure the crashing only started after Mojave.

well try it for a few more days and if it still does not crash, we can
conclude it is solved.

is it actually stable when launched from within calibre, I fond that difficult to understand, since the part of the code that is crashing should be entirely unaffected by that.

Yes, it appears to be stable when launched from within calibre.

It was because P Edman noted this (25 Dec) which is why I tried it.

well I managed to replicate it finally. Basically the crash happens when mousing over a link. Normally a tooltip would appear, saying ctrl click on the link to edit it, but for some reason, on Mojave, and only when launched as a standalone application, Qt crashes while retrieving that tooltip. I dont see anyway to fix it in calibre code, hopefully when calibre updates the version of Qt it uses, the bug will be fixed automatically, since Qt 5,12 is supposed to have explicit mojave suport. In the meantime, you will have to use the workaround of launching the editor from within calibre.
