# Crash Fix - v1.5.2

## 🐛 Crash Identified & Fixed

### Root Cause
The crash was caused by **improper window closing** in PreferencesView.

**Problem Code:**
```swift
Button("Done") {
    NSApp.keyWindow?.close()  // ❌ Wrong - keyWindow might not be preferences
}
```

**Why It Crashed:**
- `NSApp.keyWindow` might be `nil`
- `NSApp.keyWindow` might be a different window
- Closing wrong window causes undefined behavior
- Can crash the app

---

## ✅ Fix Applied

### PreferencesView.swift

**New Code:**
```swift
Button("Done") {
    // Find and close the preferences window by title
    if let window = NSApp.windows.first(where: { $0.title == "LangToLang Preferences" }) {
        window.close()
    }
}
```

**Why This Works:**
- ✅ Finds the correct window by title
- ✅ Safely unwraps with `if let`
- ✅ Only closes if window exists
- ✅ No crash if window not found

---

## 🛡️ Additional Safety Improvements

### AppDelegate.swift - Statistics Code

**Improvements Made:**
1. **Extracted period name early:**
```swift
let periodName = getPeriodName(settings.statisticsPeriod)
let periodItem = NSMenuItem(title: "  Period: \(periodName)", ...)
```

2. **Separated loop variable:**
```swift
for period in StatisticsPeriod.allCases {
    let name = getPeriodName(period)  // Call once, use multiple times
    let item = NSMenuItem(title: name, ...)
}
```

**Benefits:**
- Reduces potential for crashes in string interpolation
- Easier to debug
- Clearer code flow

## 🧪 Testing Steps

### Test 1: Preferences Window
1. Open Preferences (⌘,)
2. Click "Done" button
3. ✅ Window should close
4. ✅ App should NOT crash

### Test 2: Preferences Keyboard Shortcut
1. Open Preferences
2. Press Return key (keyboard shortcut for Done)
3. ✅ Window should close
4. ✅ App should NOT crash

### Test 3: Menu Statistics
1. Click menu bar icon
2. ✅ Statistics should show
3. Click Period submenu
4. Select different period
5. ✅ Stats should update
6. ✅ App should NOT crash

### Test 4: Multiple Opens/Closes
1. Open and close Preferences 5 times
2. ✅ Should work every time
3. ✅ No crashes
4. ✅ No memory leaks

## 🔍 Debugging Information

If the app still crashes, check:

### Console Logs
Look for:
- Thread exceptions
- NSWindow errors
- SwiftUI lifecycle errors
- Memory access violations

### Common Crash Points
1. **Window closing** - Fixed ✅
2. **Statistics calculation** - Should be safe
3. **Menu item creation** - Should be safe
4. **Period switching** - Should be safe

### How to Debug
1. Run in Xcode with **⌘R**
2. Open **Console** (⌘⇧Y)
3. Trigger the crash
4. Look at the **stack trace**
5. Share the error message
