Expected Behavior
I expect to be able to close OBS Studio without an error message from Mac OS that it closed unexpectedly.
Current Behavior
All I did was open OBS Studio, and then click on the X to close it. The next time I start OBS, even if I use the "Reopen" button in the Problem Report of Mac OS, it reports:
OBS did not shut down properly during your last session.
Would you like to start in Safe Mode (third-party plugins, scripting, and WebSockets disabled)?
Starting in Safe Mode or Normal mode, the next time I close OBS Studio the Mac OS report that it quit unexpectedly comes up again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start OBS
2.Close OBS

Research direction
Start by reproducing the close operation on macOS 15 with OBS Studio 31.0.3 and reviewing the linked OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/peyq60pGKB4b1KAx. The issue provides no crash log or source file to target; done means closing OBS normally without a macOS unexpected-quit report or the improper-shutdown prompt.
