O$ Studio 5.2.3.x and OSX 10.12.6 — anybody having issues in development mode
I have a follow up on crashing of Omnis on OSX 10.12.6 on my machine…
I reset parameter ram and the SMC controller …….. which is something I rarely do … and haven’t done on a fairly new machine…
and the results so far are that timer procedures, moving column headers, selecting text, background postgres threads, runtime crashing constantly — all the weird things that didn’t work…
now seem to be working.
So far. an hour later or so… things seem to be quite different with reset of ram/reset of SMC.
If others with this issue are able to do the same, it might help save some from that seems a non-obvious contributing factor.
