| Summary | 0008721: Dialog boxes can fail to display properly, leaving an undismissable "white box" (sometimes) and freezing DF | ||||
| Description | At least, this is suggested by the message logged to the console when the dialog is displayed: "NSAlert is being used from a background thread, which is not safe. This is probably going to crash sometimes. Break on _NSAlertWarnUnsafeBackgroundThreadUsage to debug. This will be logged only once. This may break in the future." | ||||
| Additional Information | This is the cause of the behavior noted in several bug reports, like 0005859 and 0008720. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Still occurs in 0.44.12, on macOS 10.13, but with a slightly different error:
2018-07-25 09:15:38.075 dwarfort.exe[98638:20165146] NSRunAlertPanel may only be invoked from the main thread. Behavior on other threads is undefined. (

1 dwarfort.exe 0x00000001011e3a26 dwarfort.exe + 18758182
)
No white box comes up at all - DF just freezes. |
