> If your app containing the Scintilla framework is stored on an SMB server (Windows or Mac, doesn't matter) and you launch the app from the SMB share on macOS 10.13, attempting to open a Scintilla view will freeze your app.

> I thought maybe there's a problem with macOS 10.13 loading frameworks across SMB (maybe an issue with symbolic links) but I copied Adobe Acrobat Reader and Skim which both contain frameworks to my SMB share and neither app had a problem.
Links were my guess too as frameworks are organized with links, Windows has different link functionality and SMB is based on Windows semantics. Its possible that the framework construction part of the Scintilla build is wrong - its fairly old.
Checking the resource loading in, for example ScintillaView+initialize may be worthwhile as that does explicit loading of framework files and could be sensitive to issues like 8.3 filenames or similar.
> That's not to say that my testing was extensive or that I tested them properly by ensuring a framework was loaded but at least with Skim, it uses the Sparkle update framework and I did have it check for an update with no bad results.
First check for warnings in Console.
