Stop button crashes Studio on macOS Mojave with a local file

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

On this one file, about 90% of the time, clicking the Stop button tends to freeze Studio indefinitely (not every time, but most of the time). I have to save my file, click Play Solo, do my testing thing and then click the Stop button. If it works, yay, I keep going. If it freezes I have to terminate Studio forcefully and restart it. Nearly every single time. It’s really, really annoying.

Extra details:

  • I’m editing a local file (not a published game)
    • The issue doesn’t seem to occur on an empty baseplate. I have no proof of it happening, but there’s no way to completely rule it out since the issue doesn’t happen 100% of the time
    • There is no BindToClose, I searched the forum and it’s not my issue
    • The issue turned up after the update, with no modifications to my code, it worked before
  • I’m running macOS Mojave 10.14.3
    • 15" MacBook Pro, mid-2015, got it repaired about a week ago so it’s (probably) not my hardware
  • The issue happens after the latest Studio update (never had it before)
    • Precise Studio version is 0.374.0.282978
    • I don’t know the previous version that worked

AMA, I really want to solve this

I accidentally left a place running for about 2 hours earlier, and when I clicked Stop it froze Studio again.

Now Studio can’t open any autosaves or even published games without crashing.

Here’s the log from the terminal when I try to open a local file, if that helps

Okay, I figured out a workaround to my previous post.

Open an empty Baseplate, close the tab (not Studio) and then open whatever file you want to open.

Worked like a charm.

…Or not?

But sending Studio Ctrl+C makes it do something.

Sending it SIGTERM in an infinite loop makes the UI semi-functional as long as the loop runs, but the viewport doesn’t work (not even selecting parts) and trying to expand anything in the explorer makes Studio freeze despite the signals.

while true; do killall RobloxStudio; test $? -gt 128 && break; done

SIGKILL was required to stop Studio after trying to use the explorer.
