Description
When a temporary memory layer is present in the map legend (Layers panel), hovering the mouse over the temp layer's name will cause unexpected system logout. After logging in and re-starting QGIS, closing and re-opening the Layers panel will allow the temp layer to be selected and deleted.
The temp layer that causes the crash is generated by the Polygon to Lines algorithm; other temp layers (such as those created by Check Validity) do not cause the crash.

I believe there are known issues related to High Sierra and WindowServer crashes, which may be at play here. But the crash is tied to a specific action within QGIS (though I couldn't possibly guess why hovering the cursor over a specific type of layer would cause a crash at the system level).
