Interface no longer responsive after waking from sleep affecting 2023.2 5059 2023.3 5063 running on macOS
Behavior observed: Use Moneydance to reconcile some stuff and edit some transactions. Get up to go to bathroom without exiting Moneydance. Come back and try to continue editing transactions and reconciling. Interface no longer appears to change. Mouse clicks do not appear to register. Up and down arrow keystrokes do not lead to any change in the highlighted transaction in Moneydance. Close/exit Moneydance. Reopen. Everything works as expected again.
Any thoughts on what could be going on here?

Yup - something will have crashed... After this occurs, grab help/console. Upload that here...

Thanks for the tip! Here's what I could see in the console log:

There’s no issue in this log. Are you sure this is after it became unresponsive? Or did you restart MD and then grab the log, as this is no good. After you restart you wipe the log. If you have to kill the app, find errlog.txt file on disk

Hmm.. let me double check. So I tried to reproduce once more, got the behavior described in the original post, and here's something I noticed in this log that looks a little funky:
mousePressed, but the parent is an ancestor
.As far as needing to kill the app, I have never actually needed to kill the app as normal ⌘Q and using the built-in menu quit options all continue to work as expected. I can even use the menus to start up processes to create new accounts or categories, etc. Using the side bar to switch between accounts updates the top bar as expected. Only the highlights in the side bar and the transaction log interface fail to update and show the fact that I'm actually clicking around and switching things up. Very interesting...

is not relevant.
Hmm, no errors… I can’t really offer too much here…
Perhaps change MD theme and try again?

Hi ,
We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.
Could you try changing your backup location in the Moneydance Preferences to the default location, perhaps?
You can do this by opening the Moneydance 'Preferences', selecting the Backup tab and un-checking the box for the backup location.

Thanks @Maddy -- Have not tested the backup location change yet, but I might be able to do this over the weekend. For now, I've reverted to using a 2022 version of Moneydance (build 4097), in which this behavior is not present.
