Osx: U-He Zebra Or Ace Crash When Dragging Patches

If I open interface for Zebra 2.5 or ACE 1.0, go to ‘Patches’ and start dragging patches (so that the “Zebra Icon” is shown) and then close VST/AU interface, Renoise usually crashes with an error message: “A fatal error or crash happened(unhandled exception in thread: GUI)” and then Renoise quits automatically.

  • This happens with Renoise only, not with Logic 8 Pro
  • This doesn’t seem to happen when using Renoise and Zebra/ACE VST with PC and Windows XP
  • In OSX(10.5 Leopard), this happens with both AU and VST versions of the plug-ins
  • This happens at least with Renoise 2.1 and 2.5 beta, and with Zebra 2.5 and ACE 1.0 demo versions
  • It doesn’t crash every time, but very often. Sometimes it doesn’t crash when closing interface but when re-opening it

I will report this to U-HE also

Here is some additional info from Renoise logs. Urs already replied the following:

“As far as I can see it’s about a gui element that the OS tries to send a mouse click message to. But this gui element is gone with closing the ui.”
