Step-by-step reproduction instructions
Downloaded Natron-2.5.0-macOS12-x86_64.dmg from Website
Copied to Program folder (2x security override from Apple, open .dmg and start program)
Started Program
Program is loading until interface with nodetree is visible.
Crash immediately.
Retryed. Restartet system.
Download Natron-2.5.0-macOS1015-x86_64.dmg
Copied to Program folder (2x security override from Apple, open .dmg and start program)
Started Program
Loading until interface with nodetree is visible.
Crashs immediately AFTER mouse was moved.
So, as long the mouse is not touched, Natron is alive.
Best regards
