Ebook Viewer locks up
(Mac OS 14.7.3)

Hoping I'm in the right place for this, assuming that Ebook Viewer is bundled with Calibre...

But recently, as I use EV to go through a book doings some highlighting, it apparently randomly locks up, the reading pane just turns white and it won't do anything. I can go back to Calibre and open a new EV instance of the same book and carry on until it happens again fairly soon?

is this a known bug?

Many thanks

Alex

You will have some program on your machine interfering with the viewer, eudic is the most common culprit. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/2082062 for details

thankyou Kovid, that's helpful - but I'm not sure how to tell what this interfering software might be. I'm assuming Eudic would show up in Activity Monitor if i had it - but it's not there, nor in Applications folder or Spotlight Search? How can I identify the culprit?

thanks again

You just have to look at running processes and eliminate them one by one.
