Bug in Lagrange on HaikuOS. Attempting to resize the window causes it to crash. Haven’t encountered it with any other software in spite of daily HaikuOS use for years.

Don’t have a GitHub account to post an issue and not sure whether it’s even something appropriate since I think the Langrange package for HaikuOS comes from a third party.

You're likely encountering this issue:

There appears to be something going wrong inside SDL during the resize events, IIRC. By default, SDL apps don't attempt to redraw the window while the user is resizing the window, but Lagrange does this to behave more like a typical desktop application.

There is a build option to control this behavior, however as the Haiku port is not created or maintained by me I don't know if it's been correctly applied.

Thank you very much skyjake. Will try the -sw option mentioned and see how tolerable it is. For now I just try to remember not to resize. Errors also gave me the impression SDL is the culprit and not Lagrange itself so nice to see that confirmed.

Yep! Haiku is a great OS. Run it on bare metal on one of my computers.
