Description

A user of my application reports a crash when "spending a couple of seconds looking for files" in dialogs. They report that it happens with both open-file dialogs and save-file dialogs. The user is on macOS Monterey. I'm using the sync API and I believe I'm calling from the main thread in a windowed environment (miniquad/macroquad).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report on macOS Monterey with the sync API from a windowed miniquad or macroquad application. Exercise both open-file and save-file dialogs while spending several seconds looking for files, then inspect the relevant macOS dialog path. Done means neither dialog crashes under the reported conditions.
