Details:
-
I commonly right click on a TOP and click “View…” (rather than open up a window from Window comp) because I am typically working with renders larger than UHD 4K (e.g. 3840 x 4320, 15360 x 1080) and helps in my development workflow to be able to zoom in and out, inspect pixels, etc.
-
I’ve found that if I leave TD running in Design mode with a TOP Viewer Window like this open, a crash occurs. The time of the crash varies between 5 to 60 minutes after opening the TOP viewer. It might happen while i’m working, or more often I leave my desk and come back to see TD crashed.
-
A regular window opened from Window COMP never causes the crash, but the TOP Viewer window always will (sooner or later.)
-
The most recent crash occurred even while TD was paused.
-
There is no crash dump or autosave just a regular “old fashioned” crash.
So while I do my best to save often, It sometimes results in significant data loss since my last save. -
I will try to reproduce in an example TOE i can upload when i have some time but wanted to get this report up first to get the ball rolling and see if i’m not the only one.
-
Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help track this down. Thanks.
UPDATE
- I opened up a window using a Window COMP with “Allow Interaction” parameter enabled so I could zoom in/out, inspect pix, etc like i would with a TOP Viewer window and when I got back from lunch TD had experienced this same crash again. It had left it the way i typically do: in design mode, one monitor with network editor, one with the output window.
