UI freezes when creating new chats

Feature Requests

As explained in the title, the UI freezes when creating new chats. There is also a weird behaviour: 2 windows open when I open the app. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app without success.

In the video I show that (1) the app isn’t intially running (2) I start the app and 2 windows open then I close one of the two (3) the UI freezes when I try to open a new chat (4) i kill the process and reopen the app to find 2 new chats which are functional.

    I’ll work on the fix today. Looks like there is some incompatibility with macOS Sequoia.

    I’ve fixed this in v2.10.1. Can you confirm? It’s a tough bug to hunt.

      Hi Daniel, Unfortunately no. Like I said in the previous post, the dual windows bug looks fixed but I still have the UI freeze behaviour but only on the second window that I open avec starting the app. I made sure that I have v2.10.1.

        Thanks. I’ll continue to work on this. Which macOS version are you on? This category of issue doesn’t seem to happen on macOS 26. I can see that you’re still on 14 or 15. Is that correct?

            My virtual machine is also on 14.6.1 but I can’t seem to reproduce it on BoltAI 2.10.1. Can you share the steps to repro it again? Since the double window is fixed I guess it would be a different bug this time.

              Here is a video but it’s simple :

              open bolt ai → new chat 1 → send message in new chat 1 (interact with it) → new chat 2 ==> freeze.

              I don’t know why but the video shows a cursor instead of the rainbow spinning wheel that I see after new chat 2… probably a feature of mac screen recorder.

                Thanks. I think I found the culprit. Will release a new version soon.

    Hi Daniel, the dual windows bug looks fixed but I still have the UI freeze behaviour.

    I should be able to update the OS on my machine next month so it might not be worth it to investigate more if I’m the only one asking for it.

    Hey @Philippe Tremblay, I think I’ve fixed this in v2.11. There was a leak and a bug in our Window Management logic. Can you confirm it actually works now 🥲
