Dictionary Usually Crashes When Clearing Search Field
Has anyone else noticed this? When using the dictionary and typing search terms on the upper right corner field, pressing the little 'X' to clear this field usually results in a crash of the dictionary. It doesn't always happen, but I would say it does about 50-60% of the time.
* This isn't that big of a deal, just a little annoying having to re-launch dictionary all the time. I usually get an error dialog promising to send a report to Apple, but it takes 5-10 seconds to show up.
* The main reason I'm reporting this is because I could find NOTHING of it on the internet. Not a single thread complaining about this bug. But, I know it's not just me, because I've seen this happen on several different machines, both MacBooks and Mac Pros, going back from El Capitan to Yosemite and Mavericks. So, I figured this bug deserved to have a thread somewhere until we can figure out what it is.
* My dictionary just uses the standard four: dictionary, thesaurus, Apple dictionary, and Wikipedia. I wonder if Wikipedia results are what's causing it to crash.
Thanks for any ideas/input you all have!
And finally, the infamous 'indiscriminate dump of thousands of line of code.' Apple forums won't let me post the whole thing, citing that "The message contains invalid characters," but here's what's the top of the error report says:
