Expected Behavior

The program should exit successfully.

Current Behavior

If I use CMD-Q, File - Quit, control section - Exit, or Help - restart in safe/normal mode. The app exits along with a Mac crash log.
Additionally, and I don't know if this is the same bug but it occurs after the crash…
When reopening OBS I can't interact with the + buttons to add scenes or sources. I can't right click on anything. Properties or filter windows will not open.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open OBS
  2. CMD-Q, File - Quit, control section - Exit, or Help - restart in safe/normal mode.

...

Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the OBS log and macOS crash log linked in the issue, then reproduce each listed quit or restart path on macOS 14 with OBS 30.0.0. Compare the crash behavior with the later inability to use scene/source controls after reopening; done means the reported exit crash and post-restart interaction failure are explained and verified as fixed or separate issues.
