Hi,

My developer keeps crashing, noticed in the error log two entries

macOS Sequoia 15.5

can provide the macOS crash logs if need be.

Wondering if the crash is related to these two errors in the log. All other apps running without problem.

Thanks.

[eclipsecrash.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19565221/eclipsecra…sh.txt) System Info: OS: macOS 15.4 (Sonoma) Architecture: Apple Silicon (ARM64) JVM: Eclipse OpenJ9 VM 21.0.6.0 (build openj9-0.49.0, JRE 21 Mac OS X aarch64-64-Bit 20250121_371 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) Eclipse: 4.35.0 (Build ID: 4.35.0.20250306-0811) SWT Library: libswt-pi-cocoa-4968r13.jnilib System Integrity Protection: Enabled Crash Summary: The Eclipse application crashes with a SIGABRT due to EXC_BAD_ACCESS (null pointer dereference) in the main UI thread. The crash originates in the WebKit engine via the SWT Cocoa integration, specifically in layout management: ``` WebCore::BackForwardCache::markPagesForContentsSizeChanged WebCore::LocalFrameView::setContentsSize ... WebHTMLView layoutToMinimumPageWidth ... Java_org_eclipse_swt_internal_cocoa_OS_objc_msgSendSuper ``` Steps to Reproduce: Launch Eclipse 4.35.0 on macOS 15.4 using an ARM64 JDK. Interact with the editor window (key, mouse) Eclipse abruptly terminates with a crash report indicating SIGABRT and JVM abort. (about every 20 min) Crash Report Snippet: ``` Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6 Abort trap: 6 ... libjvm.dylib os::abort() WebCore markPagesForContentsSizeChanged WebKitLegacy -[WebHTMLView layoutToMinimumPageWidth:...] libswt-pi-cocoa-4968r13 Java_org_eclipse_swt_internal_cocoa_OS_objc_msgSendSuper ```

this is fixed it seems for 15.6

there are some workaround you can read up on that case.

Also been facing crashes for a while, appreciate you linking this Johan.

Frantically clicks the ‘Check for Update’ button…

Richard1521662995 · July 24, 2025, 4:49pm

Hi,

Followed links from Johan

In Servoy Settings
Java > Hovers > Combined Hover
turned this off and so far today all OK.

Thanks for this Richard!

Just disabled it too, fingers crossed stability improves.

If anyone has managed to resolve this on 15.6 or has additional suggestions, I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I think I had this issue too and found a solution that worked for me. In the terminal, issue this

defaults write servoy.product.plist WebKitUsesPageCachePreferenceKey -int 0

This changes some flag in Servoy’s plist that made the crashes disappear for me. Don’t ask me what this is about, I was just happy to get the issue out of the way
