I have a Makie based application that involves using the mesh! function. This line of code works fin in the repl but embedded in the application (its quite complex) everything crashes. Even the repl crashes.

```julia
mesh!(spr.axis,[1041.0 1261.0; 1348.0 1261.0; 1348.0 1280.0; 1041.0 1280.0], [1 2 3;3 4 1], color = (:green,0.4), shading = NoShading)

```

I had to record the screen to capture this message because the app errors , followed by the repl crashing immediately.

There are no other messages.

Can anyone suggest how I might go about diagnosing this type of problem.  
tried restarting everything

using Windows 10, vscode with Julia ext 1.102.2 and v11.11.0-rc2  
tried to change back to v1.10.4 (by setting default using juliaup)  
but got this error…

```julia

```

any hints how to overcome this issue so I can try 1.10.4?

Thanks

For your latter issue with StyledStrings, try doing `] resolve` to re-resolve the manifest or just `] up`. That usually fixes it.

For your first issue: Could there be any bounds errors anywhere? Are you running Julia with inbounds checks?

Thanks Daniel,

] up solved the StyledStrings problem and I was able to reproduce the mesh! problem with 1.10.4.

I’m not familiar with how to change bounds checking in Julia. I have not used @inbounds and regularly get bounds errors when I make mistakes. There are several axis within the fig and the mesh! line fails on all of them.

Thanks  
Steve

Do you do anything with tasks/threads?

Oh, Yes. Do I need to avoid and plotting function in threads?

yes, GLMakie is not threadsafe…
