Hey everyone,
I've had this problem for a while now, I always suspected it was a bug in the Public Beta, however, having now updated to the release version from the App Store, the problem persists (and has gotten a bit annoying). Maybe one of you has an idea on how to fix this, this is as far as I've gotten:
When I type a word into Spotlight in order to get its Dictionary.app definition and then, using the Arrow-Down key, try to select the dictionary entry, the Spotlight window disappears. This only happens with the Dictionary definitions, any other entry I can select and preview. Console.app says that Spotlight has crashed due to a segfault. When I look at the crash report, I see that com.apple.root.default-qos has crashed:
Crashed Thread: 7 Dispatch queue: com.apple.root.default-qos
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
Apparently, it crashes when making the QuickLook preview (is that the sole purpose of com.apple.root.default-qos or does it do something else, too?).
Weirdly, I seem to be the only one experiencing this bug, I haven't found anything on it anywhere.
Thank you all in advance,
Larry
