On an Intel Mac, in Photos show the information window, then click + to add a face circle. Enlarge the view, then drag to position the circle. The position and size of the circle are unstable, as is text typed into the Name field of the circle.
Try to type a name in the name text field. Sometimes the text disappears, then later reappears. The reappearing text can be from various bits of text that previously were typed.
In expanded view sometimes dragging the circle causes Photos to crash, more often the circle jumps to some position other than where it was dragged, or where it was before dragging. While dragging to move the entire circle can cause the circle to jump to unpredictable locations or crash, making the circle larger or smaller does not cause a crash, so long as the position is not changed.
In some cases the new location to which the circle jumps can be outside the pane that contains the photo's image. This seems to resemble the bug enabling CVE-2024-11691: Out-of-bounds write in Apple GPU drivers via WebGL. That bug is said to involve WebGL operations on Apple silicon M series devices, and thus only affect Apple M series hardware. In contrast, the bug I am reporting occurs in Intel code on my MaPro7,1 with AMD gpu, and seems not present on my M1 MaBookPro.
I have sent many automatically generated crash reports, and Feedbacks with extensive System Diagnostics etc reports. I have been sending such feedback a long time (years?) through several iterations of macOS.
I tried to open a case with standard Apple support. I was told I could not because I am using beta software (macOS 115.2 Beta (24C5089c)), and that I should work through the developer program.
So here I am. I think this bug should get more attention. Please advise me if there is a better way or place to post this.
