[gtk-osx-users] crash on maximize/unmaximize

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

I've recently had a report of crashes from a user of my gtk-based 
app on El Capitan. The gtk version I'm using is 2.24.29. I'm able to 
reproduce the problem myself: it seems to happen only when you 
maximize then unmaximize a window (or maximize then use the close 
button). And it doesn't happen every time; I had a work away at 
maxing and unmaxing various windows for a few minutes before I got 
the crash.

I'm attaching the Apple problem report. Not as informative as one 
would like, I know, but it does seem to show that the problem lies 
with GTK rather than in my own code. When the crash occurs I'm not 
doing anything substantive with the app, just resizing or closing 
windows. The segfault occurs in the function updateTrackingRect in 
GdkQuartzView.c.

Any suggestions for a fix would be much appreciated.
