A user reported following crash when opening the plug-in in Logic X:

I’m not sure what the problem could be. I’m using the standard slider attachments attached to a slider. Can it have something to do with LookAndFeel::setDefaultLookAndFeel(talLookAndFeel); without using a static lookAndFeelClass? Unfortunately i can’t reproduce the issue on my system…
Any help is welcome!

Edit: No SliderAttachments used in this case.
It maybe crashes here:
owner.getTextFromValue (currentValue.getValue())

I now call following constructor as a work around:

Slider(RotaryVerticalDrag, TextEntryBoxPosition::NoTextBox)

instead of

Slider()

This should fix the issue, because it does not call the crashing method. Not sure what the problem is. My sliders are on the stack. Maybe that’s not optimal too.

How would you manage to have them on the stack in a plugin?

If you mean you have code like :

class MyEditor : public Component
{
  Slider m_volume;
  Slider m_pan;
};

That doesn’t mean the Sliders are on the stack if the editor is instantiated on the heap, which it normally would be for a JUCE AudioProcessor.

Thanks for the information. They aren’t on the stack then. It’s like in your example. I just don’t use new to create them.

I just did see that i do not init the parameters like described in this thread:

I missed this one:
paramState.state = ValueTree(“Foo”);

Maybe thats the source of the issue…
