Safari 17.5 crashes

can somebody confirm if link peeking feature of safari 17.6 crashes or works?
because my safari 17.6 crashes everytime dismissing a peeked link.
however closing a tab crashes my safari around 1 out of 30 times, randomly.

Link peeking works for me on 17.6 and Monterey 12.7.5

Just FYI, guys, updated my Safari on Monterey 12.7.5 to 17.6 version, seems like the Crash Error thing is gone. Knock on wood, but rebooted several times already, opened and closed various tabs, seems like they've potentially fixed the issue.

Now I'm kinda afraid to update Monterey to 12.7.6 version 😅

Both #4 and #40 that you referred to are inconclusive.

#4 had a clean install to not have crash but he didn’t say if try to restore or rebuild to the previous state of his system to reproduce crashes or not.

Then #40 has a very specific set of suspect apps that we can imagine not all of us have the same stuff installed.

I thank you for the input in trying to help but yes, it takes very long winding trouble shooting to pinpoint the cause that hasn’t happened yet in this thread.

I have to backtrack on my VPN as my cause. I've had a crash since, and now that I turned haptic back on, and did a link peek here I got an immediate SIGENV on peek window close.

So, it wasn't what I suspected.

Off to try the cleaning script.... and maybe clear out a few thousand bookmarks I never use.

The only thing I have in common with you is the IINA Safari extension, which I never even use (I only use the player app, no need for it in-browser). I trashed the extensions accordingly and of course nothing changed.

@kenm22 said "Tried new user and didn't have the problem."
Have you tried a new user account? Don’t sign into an Apple ID. Does it still crash?

In case it doesn't show up in updates, direct link for Safari 17.6 (17618.3.11.11.6, 17618)

I installed this one via Software Update, and a couple of days later noticed I saw an update again (seemed like I received 17.6 twice at first).
After installing the version number was bumped to 17.6 (17618.3.11.11.7, 17618).

I haven't had a crash since, while I did experience crashes with 17.5 mostly after multitasking to other software.
 
today i got an update and installed safari Version 17.6 (17618.3.11.11.7, 17618).
i can confirm that no more crashes of peeked links or closing tabs or closing windows.
thanks apple🍏
 
I have a bunch of 12.7.6 macs, many with clean installs, but they are all pre-magic trackpad. Is there any way to do link-peeks on them? 3 finger tap doesn't trigger it.

Hover over a link, and press control + command + D.

Tried it on a mac running 12.7.6 and Safari 17.6 that doesn't have a magic trackpad, and the combo does nothing. It is a 2012 using OCLP, but still odd that it wouldn't work.

The key combo works fine on my 2018 though, with a crash on closing the preview of course.

EDIT: I forgot to turn on "Show Status Bar" on the older mac. It then accepted the key combo. It also didn't crash.
