2.5 beta 3

[luckman212]

Testing on 2.5b3 + OS X 10.11.2 beta5 (15C48a)

iTunes (12.3.1.23) still crashes WindowServer and forces a logout if I try to minimize the window. That one is a real doozy, because it always makes me lose work.

Is it fixable??

Hi luckman,

We don't think we can fix this but we'll continue to look for workarounds.

Apple can certainly fix this defect and they have fixed in El Capitan a similar issue triggered by Mission Control so there is hope.
As for all the other bugs in this class of WindowServer crashes we recommend to open a bug at bugreporter.apple.com to increase the priority of the issue.
You can refer to our own bug for this problem, ID 23182216

Cheers,
Carlo

Thanks Carlo. I have just done that. My bug ID is 23759487 in case you want to cross-link back to it as well. Please everyone, open a bug on this so it can be fixed! It has been a problem since Yosemite first came out which is a long time now.

Same here. I filed Bug ID 23760615. iTunes crashes on minimize infrequently if its window is on main screen (iMac), crashes every time if iTunes window is even partially displayed on secondary window.

My itunes works fine (12.3.2.35) works fine with 2.5 and el cap 10.11.2. Macbook pro 2010 connected to 2x 1080p monitors (displayport vs BVU165 DL device)

Tried minimizing on the laptop display, the displayport, and displaylink display - all works fine

I have the 2.5 driver and OS X El Capitan. When the screen saver comes on it will cause one of the screens to die and respawn. This makes it so that when I come back the windows are on different monitors and sometimes the monitor resolution has changed.

Also sometimes when I am using the Mac the monitor will drop out and come back rearranging the displays also.

Is there a link for the 2.5 beta 3 software, does it resolve this issue, or are there any suggestions for resolving this issue?

Hi deamon,

Which screensaver are you using? I can try to reproduce the issue.
The best thing is to open a ticket at http://support.displaylink.com including the debug logs.
