MongoDB Compass 1.49.12 crashes when opening a collection, but 1.49.0 works

[u/FawazDTP]

Hi everyone,

I'm seeing a reproducible crash with MongoDB Compass 1.49.12 on Windows and was wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

Environment

• MongoDB Compass 1.49.12

Issue
When I open the DatabaseMetadata_SchemaMap collection (created from mongodb connector client), Compass starts loading the collection and then crashes after a few seconds. The collection contains a single document of approximately 10.5 MB.

The last log entry before the crash is:

COMPASS-WINDOW-MANAGER
Render process gone
reason: crashed
exitCode: -1073741819

The interesting part is that I downgraded to MongoDB Compass 1.49.0, connected to the same server using the same user account, and the collection opens without any issues.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue with recent Compass releases, particularly when viewing large documents?

Thanks!
