Archicad crashes on macOS 12.3 when closing a tab with the Tab Bar

UPDATED: the fix for this issue is part of Archicad 25 Update 5010 and a special hotfix Archicad 24 Update 7009, which was released for Archicad 24 and Archicad 24 Solo.

 

Dear All,

 

We have been notified about a new issue with Archicad on the latest update (12.3) for macOS Monterey.

 

Issue: Archicad crashes if users close a tab using the X icon, or hover the mouse over this icon. The issue happens on Archicad 24 and Archicad 25 (please refer to it as DEF-8186).

 

For those who have already installed macOS 12.3 update, here are some workarounds to avoid the crash:

  1. Hide the Tab Bar by opening Windows menu > Hide Tab Bar, then navigate using the Navigator or Organizer.
  2. Without hiding the Tab Bar, we can cycle between the tabs using Ctrl + Tab hotkey (or via the Windows menu). To close the current tab, use Cmd + W hotkey. To close all other tabs, open the Windows menu and select Close All Other Tabs and Windows.

The fix for this issue is part of Archicad 24 Update 7009 and Archicad 25 Update 5010.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

 

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,
Minh

I wonder if there will be a patch for this or if GS think we can all wait until the next AC25 update which is several months away apparently...

Apple iMac Intel i9 / macOS Sonoma / AC27UKI (most recent builds.. if they work)

I'm sure it's actively betatested right now!

Is the hot fix just around the corner or do we have to wait until summer?

I have a new one with 12.3 and it is that AC25 crashes the whole system if it is left running overnight. Let me know what to do with the crashlogs.
