Performance Issue with MacBook M1 Chip

Since upgrading to the M1 Chip, Logos crashes every time I use the sentence diagram tool. Does not do it on the other three MacBooks I have, just the M1. So, beware! I opened a case with Technical support 6 months ago and they still have no resolution. Sentence diagramming is a vital part of my study process, it is a shame that I have to use Logos' competition to be able to diagram sentences.

I understand your frustration, but it is important to be clear: Just because you are having issues does not mean that the problem is with the M1. Are you aware of other users having troubles on the M1? I did see one thread of yours. There was one user who responded about having the same problem, but he is on windows. 

I have no idea that the real problem is with the M1 Chip, and neither does Logos. The common thread in all or this, as I said in my post, is that the sentence diagramming is working fine on the three other MacBooks that I have that are not the M1 chip and the one windows desktop I have. The ONLY computer that I am having problems with the sentence diagramming is the one that has the M1 chip. And I have already done a complete removal and reinstall of Logos. So, that led me to believe that that could be the problem; especially since Logos is not native to the M1 but requires Rosetta to work. 

Hi Michael,

I have a MBP 16" M1pro. I can open the sentence diagrammer and enter text. I opened 2 text in the flow mode and one in the line mode as shown below. I opened three different bibles as well. Can you provide the steps that causes Logos to crash so I can test it for you? I am using the latest OS and  Logos.

Thanks

Good Morning John, 

Thanks for the reply. On my M1 the sentence diagram tool will open and I can bring in text just fine and, in fact, can use the tool from anywhere between 15-20 minutes, that is the frustrating part. Perhaps, if it crashed at the time same every time, it would be easier to detect what is wrong. I cannot draw straight lines with the tool. When I chose the line option all it does it want to draw "shadow" boxes. Then usually as I am trying to bring over one of the brackets for the diagram, I get Apple's pinwheel and then Logos crashes. But only after the tool has worked for several minutes. I do get form Apple of summary of the crash and it says something about a "display window pass through," not sure what that means, but it says that every time that the crash occurs. So, I thought maybe it does not like that I am using a dual monitor, (My computer, not Logos), so I disconnected the second monitor, but it did not make any difference. I am at a loss. The guys at Logos say that they have not been able to duplicate the problem. That they have obtained an M1 laptop and have not been able to duplicate (I am impressed that they obtained a new computer on my account) but that may be that they are not using it long enough. It is frustrating, I feel sometimes that I go three steps forward and four steps back with Logos.
