[Bug] App Freezes From Time to Time

[April-June-August]

This app sometimes just freezes and refuse to respond when I have unsaved changes. I had to force-quit the app, losing all my progress.

I didn’t find a consistent way to reproduce but as I remember they don’t happen while I was typing. Probably when the app is not frontmost.

I’m using MarkEdit 1.26.0 (76), MarkEdit-preview 1.1.0, on macOS 15.6 (24G84).

I would be happy to assist if there’s a way I can provide logs or other useful info to pinpoint this issue.

Thanks for reporting.

The first thing you can try is restarting the system.

If the app hangs again, right-click on the dock icon to force quite. A dialog box will appear, displaying the stack trace, which can be helpful for troubleshooting.

Have you changed any app settings? I use the app frequently and haven’t noticed any hangs recently. I’m curious to know if app settings could be a factor in this issue.

Thanks!

@April-June-August While I prefer to understand and fix this issue first, you could try this option if we really cannot identify the root cause: https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/wiki/Customization#editorautosavewhenidle

This saves the file automatically to prevent data loss.

I encountered with once freeze when running the app with Xcode. I killed the app and IDE showed it stopped at MarkEdit/MarkEditMac/Sources/Editor/Models/EditorDocument.swift:125 (saveContent).

@hysonger Thanks. It seems there isn’t much we can do if it just hangs at super.save(sender).

Can you consistently reproduce this and share more details from the call stack?
