Hi,

I just installed TX16Wx in Garageband 10.1.3 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016 with TouchBar) and GB crashes after clicking on anything in the TX16Wx UI after I open the plugin. Happens every time. Crash report below...

Thanks!

The crash report is somewhat garbled, but I will bet good money this is the same issue as I saw with another product; Apples Cocoa types on the touchbar models does nasty, weird proxy injection into UI objects that don't play we'll with generated types. Luckily I have a fix that can probably be easily backported to TX16Wx.

TL;DR: Apple does evil things on touchbar models. I should be able to fix.

[elcallio]

I've put a beta build (2.4.2e) in the beta section of tx16wx.com. It should fix the above issue. I'm keeping it a beta for now, since I don't actually have a macbook touchbar to truly test it with. Please verify the fix.

[scarab1000]

Fixed! Crash is no longer reproducing. Thanks elcallio for the super quick turn-around.

It's my first time using this plugin (great work, btw!), so I'm now able to load a wav file, slice it up in the Wav Editor, and then layout the slices into Keyboard Mapper.

I'm now seeing a separate bug (probably another Touchbar-specific bug...c'mon Apple!) where context menus do not appear underneath the mouse cursor when right-clicking in the UI. The offset of the menu from where the cursor is always up and to the right, anywhere from 50 to 400 points in both the x and y direction. I've attached a screenshot as an example. Let me know if I should start another thread to track this issue. Thanks again.

[elcallio]

Hm, tricky, as I don't have one of the offending macbooks. I've uploaded a new beta build (same version number). It might fix the menu issue. Could you download and try it?

[scarab1000]

99% Fixed! The location of the menu is now under the cursor (much better!), however the first menu item now actually appears underneath the cursor so it is already highlighted as soon as the right-click occurs before moving the cursor at all (see attachment below). If I then move the mouse 1 pixel in either the -x or -y direction it becomes unhighlighted.

I compared the behavior in this latest Beta build to videos on YouTube and it doesn't look like the first item should be highlighted (similar to behavior in other macOS apps as well). See following video (6min 38secs) for example of expected TV16Wx behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZF2Jc-MaVE&t=6m38s

If the menu appears either one pixel further down or to the right (+x or +y) from the location of the mouse cursor, it should fix the problem altogether on Touchbar machines.

Thanks again and let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to test.

[elcallio]

Updated the beta build. Menus should work properly now (last build they opened, but where useless - this is why its called a beta!).

[scarab1000]

Thanks for the update! I tested the latest build downloaded and installed 5 minutes ago. The menu options are working for me (as they did in the previous build), but I'm still seeing the bug I described in my post above: The position of the context menu appears underneath the cursor, instead of next to it.

Let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to test. Thx again!
