>> 2023-08-30 (bug)[ef5d3e] Aqua: crash on repeated display of dialog (chavez)

> Showing a dialog repeatedly is an artifact of the test provided by one of the reporters of this bug; there were other ways to trigger the bug, but the thing in common was that the crash occurs after destroying the root toplevel of the first Tk interpreter of the process (which, to Python users, means destroying the first tkinter.Tk() instance). So I would suggest a description like “Aqua: crash after destroying root toplevel in first Tk interpreter”.


It could also help to mention the message appearing in crash reports specifically for this issue, i.e. “Aqua: crash after destroying root toplevel in first Tk interpreter (KVO_IS_RETAINING_ALL_OBSERVERS_OF_THIS_OBJECT_IF_IT_CRASHES_AN_OBSERVER_WAS_OVERRELEASED_OR_SMASHED in macOS crash report)”
