Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 4.3.6766-dev
- OS: macOS
- OS Version: 15.2
- CPU Architecture: arm64
Bug Description:
Sometimes trying to use Cmd+O to open a file refuses to work. Every time the dialog opens, it just closes itself. This persists across binja restarts until I reboot my entire computer or until some mystery amount of time has passed and then it just decides to work again. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it or figure out why it happens when it does.
Steps To Reproduce:
- ???
- Try to open a file
- Window closes before i can pick a file
Expected Behavior:
I expected the window to stay open

Additional Information:
Every time this happens, I get the following errors in stderr:

This might be a Qt bug but it's hard to tell.

Research direction
No source file, test, or reliable reproduction steps are identified. Start by reproducing Cmd+O on macOS 15.2 arm64 with Binary Ninja 4.3.6766-dev, then inspect the reported stderr messages and the file-open dialog behavior. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and keeping the dialog open so a file can be selected.
