Big Sur crash - related to too many Layout Window passes?
Reported by Tom Scogland | August 30th, 2021 @ 06:08 PM
I've been running into crashes on Big Sur for some time now, order a month, and it doesn't seem to be improved by any of the recent test builds. After a crash this morning, I got the following "problem detail" trace that seems to point to an obj-c exception being thrown and killing the program with an illegal instruction after something (hint it might be the status bar window) gets marked as needing more Layout Window passes than there are views in the window.
I would attach this, or the full output, but lighthouse is telling me I have reached my upload quota:

This thread looks relevant: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/666566
I'm trying mail mate confined to my MBP's built-in monitor now to see if it stabilizes. Apparently some kind of issue related to the separate spaces for each monitor setting and external displays caused the same error.
Testing over the last few minutes does not show that helping, up to four crashes in five minutes, moving window between monitors may actually make it more likely.
Somehow Xcode apparently fixed it, but I don't see how they fixed it. Another thread over here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/678769 implies that the same issue is caused when invalidating too many times due to looping or invalidating whole collections, not sure how applicable it is.

To my surprise, after the first few terrible minutes, keeping mail mate on only my built-in monitor helped a great deal. I got through several hours of email processing without a crash (which I hadn't been able to do for over a week). I'll try disabling the per-monitor spaces today to see if that helps as well.

Turning off per-monitor spaces also seems to completely work around the issue. I'd prefer not to keep it like this, for a variety of reasons, but it's at least workable for now. Crashes are completely gone to be clear, not just less.
