NOTE: This worked on previous versions of Panda & MacOS. This is a recent change. My mac is a late 2012 Mac Mini, I7, 16GB ram. I’m running MacOS 10.15.7 since it’s the latest that supports my old machine.

Hi there,

Just checking in on the above.

Does this still occur on the latest Panda version (2510) for you?

If so, no worries, we will investigate further!

Yes, I just updated panda and tried again. It still crashes when I type a # followed by a space.
It also crashes when I type something and use the menu to select Heading
I attached the MacOS Problem Report if that helps.

Thanks,
Eddie Williamson

Hi Eddie,

Many thanks for your response and additional information.

We will investigate this further. cc - @matteo

I figured it out!!
I had unzipped panda in the downloads folder. When I used the Check For Updates menu selection it told me I was in the wrong folder. I moved it to Applications and now it is working again. Headers don’t crash the app. So the problem is solved.

You might save this as a FAQ in case others have the issue. Also, the developers might put checks in to trap the exception that was causing the crash and give a message for it.

Thanks again,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

That’s great news! and is good to know. I’ll definitely store this aside incase a similar question pops up!

Glad to hear that is it working again. If we can assist with anything further let us know.
