  1. Buy a Mac computer :sweat_smile:.
  2. Add an audio track in an empty project.
  3. With the track selected, open the Left Zone, then expand the Notepad section.

Seems to be Mac specific or maybe it is just your individual system - doesn’t crash here on Win10 C14.
Maybe someone on a Mac can confirm?

MacOS 15.3.2, MBP M3 Max, C14.0.20 does not exhibit this behavior.

The text I entered is deleted without a crash. I presume you mean “expand Notepad selection for Track inspector” which needs to be enabled first, but any combination I can think of doesn’t crash over here.

Let me know if want me to test something else :slight_smile:

Then it must be my unsupported MacOS (Catalina). I’ll just remember not to command+backspace in the Left Zone’s Notepad. Thanks.

If anyone’s interested reading the crash report:

I’ve picked up the hobby of seeing what ChatGPT o3-mini-high analysis is produced when folks share the crash dumps. I thought this part was interesting:

Dynamic Libraries:
The report lists a number of system frameworks and libraries (like libcrypto , libssl , libsqlite3 , etc.) along with their memory addresses. This is standard for crash logs and helps developers verify that the correct versions of dependencies were loaded.

Cubase uses sqlite3 for many various db-related functions, so OS/component incompatibility sounds feasible. Maybe it’s time for you to grab that M3 Ultra Studio you’ve been looking at!! :smiley:
