Just tried it, crashes in the exact same way:
1. Hitting "Compile" does whatever it should do successfully.
2. Then hitting "Open PDF" opens a new tab which stalls out and crashes
I would almost say its actually a PDF thing that is crashing Safari vs a JS thing.
At least, that's what has happened consistently on my machine with latest Safari and WebKit nightly.
Edit: However, taking the generated PDF from Chrome and dropping it into Safari loads it fine, so maybe it is a JS thing.
Edit 2: Upon further inspection it appears the new tab is being opened with just a data URL representing the entire PDF. It wouldn't surprise me if that's the problem (Safari not being able to handle huge data as a URL). I recall running into a similar crash in MobileSafari because of that a while ago.
- tolmasky 14y agoYup, that is for sure it. I took the Chrome generated PDF, turned it into a data URL, then copy-pasted the data URL into Safari's URL bar. Crash. Drag and dropping the file itself into Safari, works fine.
