This seems to be a crash in the psychtoolbox thread used for keyboard event monitoring. What type of processor does your mac have, an Intel or a M1? Wondering if the issue is with macOS 12 or the processor type.

To test if it is the psychtoolbox thread, can you try running a Coder demo that does not require psychtoolbox, like demos/coder/basic/hello_world.py and see if it runs successfully or not?

Thank you

My processor is M1.
If I run a coder dem that does not requiere psychtoolbox, it runs.

Thank you.

Excuse me. My chip is M1 pro. It can not display text, pictures, etc., in the 2.3 version. Do you have such a problem? The error message is:
