    47  ChimeraX crashed executing a windowsize command.  The crash was in the Mac
    48  Metal graphics trying to repaint a window.  This is most likely a bug in
    49  the Qt window toolkit managing graphics rendering for multiple displays on
    50  Mac.  Dozens of multi-display Mac crashes have been reported in the past
    51  year.  You are using ChimeraX 1.10.1 which uses Qt 6.8.  The current
    52  ChimeraX uses Qt 6.9.  The current ChimeraX daily build uses Qt 6.10.  You
    53  may seem fewer (or more) Qt crashes with newer ChimeraX and Qt versions.
    54  I suggest updating if you often see ChimeraX crashes in the hope that the
    55  Qt window toolkit bugs might be fixed in newer Qt versions.
    56 
    57  If you know a way to reproduce any of these Mac crashes we want to hear
    58  how as we may be able to find a code change that would prevent the crash.
    59  We almost never can reproduce these crashes.
