Photoshop 28.0 crashes when closing multiple unsaved documents using Option-click (macOS)

Hi, I’m experiencing a reproducible crash in Photoshop 28.0 on Mac when closing multiple floating document windows.

If at least two documents have unsaved changes, Option-clicking a window’s close button to close all documents and choosing “Don’t Save” causes Photoshop to crash.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open two or more documents in floating windows, with Application Frame disabled.

  2. Make changes in at least two documents without saving.

  3. Option-click the close button on one document window.

  4. Choose “Don’t Save” when prompted.

Expected: Photoshop handles the save prompts and closes all documents normally.

Actual: Photoshop crashes during the process.

I tested these scenarios:

  • No modified documents: all close normally.

  • Only one modified document: “Don’t Save” works normally.

  • Two or more modified documents: the batch-close operation crashes after choosing “Don’t Save”.

  • Closing documents individually: works normally, including discarding changes.

System information:

  • Photoshop 2027 28.0.0, build 20261027.r.20

  • macOS 27.2, build 26B123

  • Apple M4 Max, native Apple Silicon mode

The crash report shows EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGSEGV on the main thread, with calls involving NSAlert runModal, interface drawing and window closing. I can provide the full report if needed.

Has anyone else encountered this, particularly when using floating document windows?
