Hi,

we have teachers experiencing it too here in Geneva. But we have hard time reproducing it. Could you provide the crash report please ?

Also, here's a 1.7.2 release candidate built for macOS : do you still have the issue with it ?

Thanks for your response,

Forgive my ignorance. How should I find and provide the crash report?

I tried the 1.72 release candidate. I could not replicate the same crash by trying to resize the text box, so that is good.

However, with this new version I did encounter another bug in which once (only once), I could no longer click on a text box that I had created with text in it. After trying to select it a few times, OpenBoard crashed.

No worries.

I thought it systematically appeared immediately after the crash. Please look at the following instructions on how to find them : https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/26480/where-can-i-find-my-crash-logs

I'm aldo interested in the second crash report if you find it!
