What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When opening Dolphin's "Controllers" configuration interface with a fresh Dolphin configuration, the program hangs. If a good config folder is already present, the hang will not occur.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Delete any existing Dolphin configuration folder (~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin).
  2. Open an affected version of Dolphin.
  3. Say Yes or No to data collection.
  4. Try and open the 'Controllers' configuration UI, or try and close Dolphin.
  5. Hang.

To circumvent:

  1. Open version 5.0-10852 or older.
  2. Hit Yes or No to data collection.
  3. Close Dolphin.
  4. Open an affected version of Dolphin.
  5. Crashes are gone.

Additionally, it appears that a key is missing in Dolphin.ini in configurations generated with 5.0-10855 or newer:

[NetPlay]
TraversalChoice = direct

When appended to the end of the Dolphin.ini generated by an affected version, the controller UI config crash goes away. However, Dolphin will still hang when you try to close the main window.
Additionally, Dolphin fails to generate Debugger.ini, GFX.ini, and Logger.ini in the affected versions. Copying those files in from a good build, plus adding the missing NetPlay config key to Dolphin.ini, appears to fix the closing Dolphin crash.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes; 5.0-11337.

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

No.

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

5.0-10855.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

N/A

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

CPU: Intel i7-6700K
GPU: AMD Radeon VII
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I have attached the Dolphin-generated configuration files for the last good and first bad builds.
