This crash report lists the OS as macOS 10.15. 10.15 is updating some of the Touch Bar APIs; it might be that on June 20, when the crash occurred, there was simply an issue with those APIs in an early beta of 10.15. With that said, I've attached a patch that will print a console warning and return if a similar issue occurs. This will at least give us some more information if this issue crops up again. As it stands, there's not much information with which to diagnose in this crash report.

If you back a little further, there was also one crash in the 69 cycle using 10.14: https://mzl.la/2LlOKhJ

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. The attached patch should stop the crash by returning early and give us a little more information through the console if more behaviour like this is encountered.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

  • User impact if declined: Potential crash when pressing items on the Mac Touch Bar.
  • Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
  • Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
  • Needs manual test from QE?: No
  • If yes, steps to reproduce:
  • List of other uplifts needed: None
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): No user data is at risk. Note that this fix has not yet been verified. The original cause of the crash was not fully known, so rather than fixing the root cause, this patch adds a console warning and cancels the action that would otherwise cause the crash.

It has been verified, however, that if the new cancellation is encountered, the browser does not crash. I would say one press of a button being unresponsive is less annoying than a full crash, so it is worthwhile to uplift.

Works around a crash by canceling the action instead and logging an error. Approved for 69.0b7.
