I have been having frequent crashes when creating group folder tracks. My system is Mac OS 15.7.1. Using latest update 15.0.21. It was happening with 15.0.20 too. Has anyone else had this problem?
Here is an extract from the crash report:

On MacOS 15.7.4 - I had almost the exact same crash to desktop just now on 15.0.21 when either enabling Step Record options or playing a MIDI note into Step Record in the Score Editor (I did both at roughly the same time).
Crash report is formatted differently in Mac Console but seems like a very similar error report if you just look at the text

Seems to be a graphics issue. I haven’t been using the step record functions.
Yeah I agree. I’m not convinced it has anything to do with Step Record either, was just what I was clicking when Cubase suddenly crashed.
It has been happening continuously - I hope someone from Steinberg notices this.
