Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached Report.txt and reproducing the crash in darkroom while minimizing or resizing the window on macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 with an M1 chip. Also test whether disconnecting the display triggers it. Done means resizing or minimizing no longer crashes darktable 5.2.1 in the reported scenario.
