I have started to experience this in AppKit (Cocoa for macOS) app development on BigSur. Here's a typical scenario:
User launches the app
Clicks the tiny green button in the upper-left of main window title bar to make app fullscreen.
Presses cmd + ',' or (manages to reach the Preferences menu item while in full-screen mode)
Preferences window pops up as a modal window (via: contentViewController..presentAsModalWindow(preferencesViewController)
Prefs view appears fullscreen with an animation (sliding in from right to left)
User closes the prefs window pressing OK or Cancel (both of which end up firing self.dismiss() where self is the preferencesViewController)
A huge black blank screen in complete nothingness - the only way to gid rid of it is quitting the application with cmd + Q
Number 7 only occurs on BigSur and not in previous versions of macOS (tested as with as low as 10.13)

Have the same problem with a recently published app. Analytics tab displays "No data to show". Sales / trends tab says "Your Apple ID pending", yet I received a support request from a user this morning who says they purchased the app a few days ago. I thought there had been no sales before that.
@mditsler I had a similar issue of my app crashing when resizing a view that contains a tableview.
Thanks to your story, I figured out my app at least will not crash when setting the table view highlight to "source list". If I change it to anything else than that, then my app will crash when the user resizes the window containing the view. Very frustrating.
This happened to me in Xcode 10.1 on High Sierra.
I will test later what happens when I convert this to Xcode 11.x on Catalina.
