Observed

The app crashes when I try to open this specific note

Reproduced

1. Open the app
2. Create a note with these exact contents:

payouts states

Create external payee -> Distribute $10 to them -> It shows up on Pay-outs page -> You click the Pay out button and it moves the money without any fees
Create external payee which is also a Charity -> Distribute

4. Open another note, or close/reopen the app
5. Click the note, or reach it with the up/down arrow keys
6. The app crashes

The note opens up fine in the iOS app

It took me some long hours of debugging, but I tracked down the cause of the crash.

I've set my machine's text replacement to swap -> with →. Because of that, this call of checkTextInDocument crashes the app whenever I open a note with -> in it.

simplenote-macos/Simplenote/NSTextView+Simplenote.swift

Line 171 in 1ff5566

checkTextInDocument(nil)

Typing out -> won't trigger this. It only works by pasting it or opening a note with that sequence of characters.

Pasting → or opening a note with → works fine.

Thanks for reporting.

1. How are you setting up the text replacement to occur?
2. If you disable the text replacement, in your notes do you see -> or → ?
3. If you disable the text replacement does the crash occur?
