VirtualBox intermittently crashes when cursor approaches app menu

Reported by: Will B Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 6.0.8
Keywords: crash, menu Cc:
Guest type: all Host type: Mac OS X

Description

VirtualBox manager was open for a few hours with no machine running. I went into macOS's System Preferences and adjusted the selection color to a custom value. When I returned to the vbox manager, I went to close it via the app menu at the top of the screen, but when my cursor approached vbox's app menu, the vbox manager crashed. The crash report is attached to this report.

This has happened at least two times this week. I am unable to manually reproduce this issue.

What does that mean? Is it reproducible or not? Because if it isn't, then the chances of the ticket being addressed are slim to none...

I am unable to trigger the problem all the time, but it has has happened a few times now.

Based on your answer, it looks like I wasted my time reporting this, and other VirtualBox bugs. I'm an open-source developer too, but I gladly accept feedback and bug reports. I'm just trying to help. So that I don't disturb you, I'll refrain from reporting in the future.

Excuse me, but... what exactly are you talking about? If a bug can't be readily reproduced, especially by a developer, it can't be possibly be addressed/fixed.

That's a fact, not a criticism, not sure why you got so negative about it.
