Do you get a crash report afterwards, next time when you open Blender ?
Please save it in a Text Editor and upload the file.

wow. If Blender works and the render works on my computer and the bug is just when you close the window, are you willing to close a bug report that probably affects other users just because my graphics card is not supported?

and worse, dismissing a bug report without even trying to see if the bug happens on a mac with a newer configuration?

this is genius.

I am a long time Maya user, in fact I use it since release 1.

I have tried Blender for the first time today and was impressed by how good the software is.

I tried it on macOS 10.14.5, Intel HD 6000, 1.5GB
Default cube > engine cycles> samples: 1 > render image > close the new window while render is going on.
It doesn't crash.

Do you get a crash report afterwards, next time when you open Blender ?
Please save it in a Text Editor and upload the file.

Please try 2.90 https://builder.blender.org/download/, and upload the crash report in a text file.
Also does it happen on simpler scenes, like the one I described ? If not share the simplified blend file with us for testing.
If that doesn't crash on another Catalina, it can be closed it as out of memory error.

As a workaround, you may disable rendering in a new window - x, and make a new main window manually ({nav Window menu > New (main) Window} ) and set it to "Rendering" workspace and toggle between them using {key command `}.
