Ventura Beta crash

I have the same issue. It's happening quite frequently (almost daily). To my knowledge, this happens only when the computer is connected to an external LG display. I have two different types of LG displays, and it happens with both.

MacBookPro 2019 Intel，Connect one DELL displays

DELL P2317H

I'm having the same issue. I was connected to an AOC external screen over HDMI. It happend when I was CMD+TAB to a different screen using the newly Stage Manager.

It happens few times a week and is not fun...

Hi there,

You might have better luck asking this question over in Apple Support Communities run by Apple Support.

The same problem over here; it keeps crashing on a daily basis. It all started with the update to macOS Ventura

This has suddenly started to happen with most apps for me as well. If I press some of my arrow keys or initialize a shortcut like cmd+v, it crashes the app. Affects 1st party apps like Safari, Feedback Assistant, Messages and 3rd party apps such as VMware Fusion, Minecraft Launcher, HandBrake.

Where can we report this to Apple so they would fix this? Makes my Mac unusable.

same issue
