Just to be clear: it crashes when there is no involvement of my code at all - this is the stack trace without the override, but with zombies enabled:

At line 2, it’s clearly trying to access a NSWindow zombie. I’m pretty sure this is the window I just closed that closed the document. It’s hard to be 100% certain because the same result does not arise in the debugger - I have to export a complete app to see the problem, so I can’t examine the window’s address directly. However, this is the only window that has ever closed in the entire run.

So, NSApplication has a stale reference to a closed window which it accesses in _objectFromResponderChainWhichRespondsToAction.

How is that possible?
