Dictionary usually crashes when erasing search field

If anyone else has noticed this?  When search terms using the dictionary and tapping on the field in the top right corner, by pressing the small 'X' to remove this field usually results in a crash of the dictionary.  This does not always happen, but I would say it is about 50-60% of the time.

* This is not that big to have an affair, just a little annoying to re-launch dictionary all the time.  I usually get a dialog box error promising to send a report to Apple, but it takes 5-10 seconds to appear.

* The main reason that I'm reports it's because I couldn't find ANYTHING on the internet.  Not a single thread to complain about this bug.  But I know that's not just me, because I've seen this happen on several different machines, Mac Pro and MacBook, going back to El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks.  So, I thought this bug deserved to have a thread somewhere until we can understand what it is.

* My Dictionary uses just the four standard: dictionary, thesaurus, dictionary Apple and Wikipedia.  I wonder if Wikipedia results which is the cause of the crash.

Thanks for the ideas/input you all have!

And finally, the notorious "blind dump of thousands of line of code."   Apple forums won't let me post all, citing that "the message contains invalid characters", but here is what is the upper part of the error report says:

  • When I open a tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

    When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

    Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

    On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

    You can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.

  • Missing bookmarks in the smart search field in Safari

    Since the release of El Capitan 10.11.6, favorites are missing from the smart search field in Safari to new Windows.  If a Safari any page web (so far), clicking in the search box if poster is Favorites to view icons, as is expected.

    Is this a bug, or can I make some adjustments to bring them new windows?

    Thank you!

    Dick

    Hello Dick Huitema.

    If I understand your message to the right, when you open a new window in Safari, you do not see your favorite icons in the smart search field.  When I use Safari, I always like to have my favorites available and ready to use, so I can understand why you would be tender for assistance with this.

    You probably feel that if Safari is set to open new windows in an empty page. If yours is configured in this way, there is a very easy way to get these favorites icons to show without actually changing any settings. When you open a Web page, you should see a blank webpage with your top search bar and a cursor blinking in the search bar. Instead click inside the search bar right away, click anywhere on the empty Web page and then click on in the empty search bar. You should then see your Favorites icons appear.

    Another option is to set your homepage to your Favorites. You can do it in Safari > Preferences. On the general tab in Safari preferences, select the drop-down menu next to "new windows open with", and then choose favorite. This should ensure that when you open new web pages, all your Favorites icons show immediately. Favorites icons always appear in the smart search field when additional tabs are open as well.

    Here are a couple of really helpfuls articles on Safari Favorites and search options:

  • Thunderbird crash when sending a message or a copy in the sent mail

    I use Thunderbird on Yosemite 10.10.4 38.2.0 (Mac), to connect to Gmail via their IMAP server.

    I have been using Thunderbird for many years. The last two weeks, a problem has resurfaced. It seems that Thunderbird loses contact with the IMAP of Gmail server. Two things occur:

    (1) crashes when sending a message: it hangs on "connecting to smtp.gmail.com. After awhile, I hit cancel them and send again and the message passes through. (screenshot attached)

    (2) hangs when copying to sent mail: I compacted my sent mail folder and it still hangs. Yet once I hit Cancel, and he me reprompts. After clicking ok several times, he finally saves the email in the folder.

    I am also intermittently an error message "unable to run filters on the message" or something like that. Sporadically, in this case it is so difficult to reproduce.

    I have a feeling that the problem is actually the Google server. I was in a new access provider, so at first I thought it was related to this. However, I have tested this in two places, including my university network (temple.edu) and observed the same problems. So, I don't think it's my local network connection.

    I found no information that Google has hurt. I think that other users would see the same thing. The problem with the copy sent mail before in older versions of Thunderbird. The usual alternatives were to compact the file and play with the process boundary setting.

    This is the case on almost every message I send now, and I send a lot of email, so I need to help this debugging.

    Thank you.

    By lifting the server indicates you have DNS problems. Something other r4eport as being useful is a ditch their ISP DNS and use Googles. It's
    IP 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. For instructions, see https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/how-to-change-dns-servers-on-a-mac/

    However, do not check e-mail in the "sent" folder is also very annoying because I can't delete this folder.

    Normally, Thunderbird saves mail in the sent folder. In the case of Gmail, all outgoing mail is autoatically added to the Gmail sent folder, and in the case of IMAP synchronizes it to the same folder in Thunderbird. So I guess that you are not using IMAP for your mail. Would this be the case? If you use POP, do a right-click on the account, select settings and folder on behalf of copies and put so save outgoing mail. Maybe it's that, for your EDU that Google do not save in the folder mail. In this case with regard to POPs.
