Photos crashes on some Persons

Still suffering from People/Person albums crashing. Tried a lot - recreated persons - removing big videos was the last thing.

Sometimes the album opens, but most of the time it makes Photos crash immediately.

Until recent this happened to only 1 person, but today a second person started causing a crash.

The crash is showing a buggy behavior of Photos. It should ext gracefully with a useful error message, even if the library is corrupted.


Mac OS X 10.14.2 (18C54)

You may want to try to update to Mac OS X 10.14.6 - it has added several bug fixes.


If updating Photos does not help, you may want to try to repair the Photos Library. But repairing the library will result in a new upload into iCloud, if you are using iCloud Photos.
