- Thread-topic: System Events crash in CFStringGetLength
I've been encountering random crashes in System Events
(CFStringGetLength + 0x34), and it seems to occur at points when the UI
is in transition - an application is launching, a menu item is updating
due to a status change, etc.
Is anyone else seeing this failure? Is there a workaround - some way to
check whether or not System Events is in a stable condition before
talking to it?
As a random failure, I don't have a reliable repro case. The most common
scenario is to launch an application and immediately begin searching in
System Events for UI elements associated with that application. My
suspicion is that someone forgot to lock the memory associated with the
UI element hierarchy during updates, and I'm catching it in the act.
