When evaluating the new Mathematica 12 functionality, I came across the following issues with this simple expression:

Excessive times required for “Formatting Notebook Contents”

  • The “Formatting Notebook Contents” when opening a notebook with the above mentioned expression will take about 25 sec on my machine.
  • Evaluating the expression will take another 30 sec of formatting contents.

Mathematica 12 crash

the following expressions will consistently crash Mathematica 12 on my machine:

data // TableForm

When I click Uniconize from the expression

Iconize[data, "Country Data"]

will crash Mathematica too.

This will crash Mathematica 12

data[[All, {2, 3}]]

However, this will not:

ListLogLogPlot@data[[All, {2, 3}]]

Mathematica 12 was installed after I uninstalled version 11.3 on my Windows 10 Pro 17763.437 machine.

Anyone else experience something (or exactly the same) issues? Are there any work-arounds?

Cheers,

Dave

No such crashes here with Mathematica 12.0 under macOS 10.14.4 on a 2019 iMac with 64 GB RAM.

What exactly is your hardware configuration?

I can reproduce the aforementioned issue on windows. The mac version handles the operations fine.

Thank you Shengui Yang for confirming the issue.

I tried to open the notebook with elevated privileges or using a block around the expression, but to no avail. For expressions like these I revert back to version 11.3.

Cheers,

Dave

Wolfram teams are aware of the issue and is working on a resolution. Thank you for reporting and patience!

Please note that scrolling a Dataset generated by SystemProcessData is almost impossible as it invokes “Formatting Notebook Contents” multiple times.

I am facing the same issue, after version 13. It is crashing so much and so frequently. I am using Windows 10. Even though the memory is 16gb and the processor is fast enough for other languages, mathematica seems to be crashing even for simple import operations for csv files with more than 100k records. Delayed work a lot because of this reason.

Works fine on my machine with V13
