Hi Jules,
I can reproduce a crash when I use the current (e.g. current tip) JuceDemoPlugin’s TextInput of a slider and afterwards close the plugin’s GUI. As far as I could debug this it seems that one component gives back an invalid parent pointer (possibleChild->parentComponent_) in the loop in Component::isParentOf() causing the EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception in the next cycle. I tried this with Cubase, Live and Reaper which all crash when using the VST. The AU doesn’t crash though (in Reaper and Live).
I have an older JuceDemoPlugin which doesn’t crash. Unfortunatly it doesn’t show the JUCE version in auval, so I’m not sure which version exactly. It was build on Dec. 3rd, it should be a tip around this time.
The crashlog:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000022
