    Hello,

    Since upgrade to macOS 27.0.1 this simple code is crashing with PyQt6 when trying to display the QMessageBox:

    import sys
    from PyQt6.QtWidgets import (
        QApplication,
        QWidget,
        QPushButton,
        QMessageBox,
        QVBoxLayout,
    )
    
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    
    window = QWidget()
    window .setWindowTitle("Sample")
    
    button = QPushButton("Display")
    
    def display_dialog():
        QMessageBox.question(
            window,
            "Confirmation",
            "Continue ?",
            QMessageBox.StandardButton.Ok | QMessageBox.StandardButton.Cancel,
            QMessageBox.StandardButton.Cancel,
        )
    
    button .clicked.connect(display_dialog)
    
    layout = QVBoxLayout()
    layout.addWidget(button)
    window.setLayout(layout)
    
    window .show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())
    

    As workaround this works:

    import sys
    from PyQt6.QtWidgets import (
        QApplication,
        QWidget,
        QPushButton,
        QMessageBox,
        QVBoxLayout,
    )
    
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    
    window = QWidget()
    window.setWindowTitle("Sample")
    
    button = QPushButton("Display")
    
    def display_dialog():
        dialog = QMessageBox(window)
        dialog.setOption(QMessageBox.Option.DontUseNativeDialog, True)
        dialog.setWindowTitle("Confirmation")
        dialog.setText("Continue ?")
        dialog.setStandardButtons(
            QMessageBox.StandardButton.Ok
            | QMessageBox.StandardButton.Cancel
        )
        dialog.exec()
    
    button.clicked.connect(display_dialog)
    
    layout = QVBoxLayout(window)
    layout.addWidget(button)
    
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())
    

    So it looks like usage of native dialog box is broken with macOS 27.0.1.
    Is this a known issue? If not, can anybody reports this to Qt developers?

    Thanks

      Is there maybe some relationship between this and https://forum.qt.io/topic/165172/qfontdialog-on-macos-27-isn-t-modal-anymore ? Maybe there is an issue with native dialog changes?

        Unlikely, the internal mechanism is different, and I furthermore cannot reproduce any crash with OP's sample.

        @Qoissi Please provide more detail - which version of Qt and which version of PyQt? Is the crash due to a Python exception or in native code? Can you provide a stack trace?

          Hi, sorry it was difficult to get the details because I do not have means to reproduce myself (I'm reporting issues communicated by users of my PyQt6 based program).

          Here are the versions used:

          PyQt6                6.11.0
          PyQt6-Qt6            6.11.2
          PyQt6_sip            13.11.0
          Python               3.12.12
          

          The crash is not due to a Python exception, this is in native code.
          As of today the user has not been able to provide a stack trace...

          But another user, still of macOS 27.0.1 and also using PyQt6 6.11.0 reports this stack when displaying a dialog (not sure this is a QMessageBox).

          *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: targetSizeInPoints.width>0 && targetSizeInPoints.height>0'

            Hi,
            Can you check with the latest version of PySide6 to see if you experience the same crash ?
