Hi,

Inkscape on my MacBook is crashing nearby every 2 minutes. If I do a right-click on an object or if I want to open wihtin Inkscape a new file, it crashes as well.

I tried to find a solution but I didn't found one. Can someone help me? I even tried to use the developer version 1.2 without any changes.

Attached the error report. Thank you

First try to update to latest BigSur; 3.4GB/ca 20-30min 

Then use AppCleaner.app to delete all Inkscape installation related stuff - not just store in wastebasket. Shut down Mac, wait a few sec and start again. Install 1.2 dev (I use the same right now). Report back.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried it already 3 times. Also with other app cleaners. Unfortunately without success.

Do anyone have another idea?

here is the error report

Are you on M1 Mac or Intel?

M1 Mac.

Yes I was reading from the message Code Type:             X86-64 (Translated)

Asked in dev Chat. So far no idea popped up.I guess the crux here is the "possible pointer authentication failure" - but I´m not sure what it is about.

Can you describe what you did after downloading 1.2dev version in detail please? Where installed - any - special keys in the path like öäüß or alike for instance - did macOS asked for any permission so far?

We have a bucket of similar reports on Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2696 ). No workaround really, seems to happen to mac users who open a second window.

For the right click, https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2695

We could always work with more info on how to trigger the bug (why doesn't it happen to all mac users), but I don't have a workaround for these issues.

It might be worth trying 1.0.2, these reports cropped up after 1.1 release iirc
