Desmos is doing very well.

We found ANOTHER crash, and it got even more dumb (discovered by @Martin_staples, checked by me)

Instructions: Load the graph. Look at the expression that says `f(x)=1`. Change the `1` to some other number, and your graph is no longer functional. Make sure when changing the value you only deleted the value, nothing else. This is to ensure that the graph doesn’t update.

This seems to be more than a random crash; it’s a state sync problem in desmos geometry.

The equation becomes momentarily invalid when the `1` in `f(x)=1` is removed. Desmos often takes care of it rather well, but geometry has a somewhat different engine. The dependency graph may desync and not recover cleanly if anything relies on `f(x)` while it is in that empty state.

Therefore, it’s probably a reactive geometry update problem rather than a user mistake. Definitely worthy of a reprint.

Wow! Good job, I didn’t think know that (maybe its also because i’m only 13). I would understand that the Demsos engineers didn’t prioritize the rendering in the Geometry calculator but more on the functions, whereas they focused a lot on line plotting in the graphing calculator, but I still found a [bug with objects.](https://cl.desmos.com/t/yet-another-desmos-bug-crash/8547/22)

Not a single graph that says it crashes desmos has even lagged it, and I’m running it on my 2 core, school chromebook without hyperthreading support and Java v6

I believed this is patched? I can’t replicate it anymore.
