Steps to Reproduce:

1.    Start a new conversation.
2.    Type a note.
3.    Wait for a reply.
4.    Press Command-Z to Undo.
5.    App crashes consistently.

Analysis:

•    Cause: Invalid memory access (segmentation fault) at “0x0000000000000014”.
•    Key Symbol: “objc_msgSend”, indicating a message was sent to a null or deallocated object.

Conclusion:

•    The crash is due to sending a message to a null or invalid object during an undo operation managed by “NSUndoManager”. This likely results from an object being released prematurely or not properly retained.

Potential Fixes:

1.    Check Object Lifecycle: Ensure objects involved in the undo operation are properly retained and not prematurely deallocated.
2.    Safe Message Passing: Add checks to ensure objects are not null before sending messages.
3.    Debugging Tools: Use Xcode’s Instruments, particularly the Zombies instrument, to detect use-after-free issues.

Expected Result:

•    No crash during undo operations.

Actual Result:

•    App crashes consistently during the undo operation.

Additional Information:

•    Browser: None, macOS app latest Version 1.2024.170 (1719338033)
•    OS: macOS

Detailed Explanation:

1.    “objc_msgSend”: Message sent to a non-existent (null) object.
2.    “popAndInvoke” and “undoNestedGroup”: Crash occurred during an undo operation.
3.    User Interaction: Likely triggered by selecting a menu item or performing an action.
4.    Main Event Loop: Crash occurred during normal application execution.
