Idk what from a crash report is actually helpful so I apologize for including so much, but if someone can help me would be awesome. perhaps it is my Mac that is the source of the problem, I rarely shut my computer down.

I’m afraid this is a bug in the toolkit Anki is built on - hopefully they will fix it in a future update.
