Just to clarify, if you click anywhere on this page (an empty page after launching Orion), your Orion crashes?
I tried reproducing this issue but I couldn't get Orion (Version 0.99.128.2.1-beta (WebKit 619.1.11.111.2)) to crash
2
Orion suddenly crashes when clicking on an Empty Page
laiz Yes, that is it.

Could you share a video of this? What tab layout setting do you use (horizontal, vertical, compact)?
laiz I tried uploading a .mov file via the icon with an up arrow but got an error message. What's the correct way to upload a video? (I checked the main forum page for instructions but didn't find any)

Odd, that should work. The only reason for it not working I can think of is that the file is very large. As a workaround, let's see if you are able to upload that file on https://streamable.com and share the link here (the uploads expire after 2 days)

laiz Let me see if this reduced size version will upload... The first bit is me clicking around the Start Page (ok) then opening up a new tab to an Empty Page, clicking in it, and getting the crash.
Edit: I use the default tab settings which I think is horizontal (new tabs appear to the right of prior tabs)
Could you test this on a fresh profile?
File -> Profiles -> New Profile
Please don't make any other changes besides making new windows and tabs open blank pages.
Then try to cause a crash again.

laiz I created a New Profile (Test Profile) and set it up to open in Start Page and new tabs in Empty Page. I did not install extensions in this profile. Exited Orion, started it, went to File -> Profiles and selected the Test Profile. Problem remains: I can click around the Start Page but when I open the new tab in the Empty Page and click on it, I get the crash.

Thank you for your patience and being thorough with your report. It certainly looks like there's an issue with Orion.
Restarting brings up the crash reporter.
I assume you have used that reporter to share further details with the team. At this point you have done everything you can. Let's hope we are able to find someone else who is facing the same issue.
I am sorry for your workflow breaking, and I hope you are able to find a temporary replacement for having tabs and windows open with blank tabs.
laiz Thank you for the timely help, I appreciate it.
I thought I'd check here before reporting through the Crash Reporter. I tried now to report it formally but although I get the crash, I no longer get the Apple prompt nor do I get the Crash Reporter when I reopen Orion! I'll keep trying different things and if/when the Crash Reporter comes back I will submit details.
OldGuyInTheClub The Crash Reporter came back and I submitted through it. Thanks.
