Please update to the new version:
Keyboard Maestro 8.2.2
Peter made some fixes that may help your issue.
My suspicion is that 8.2.2 will not resolve the issue.
However I currently have zero crash reports for the Keyboard Maestro Engine for Mojave, while I do have a couple random crash reports for the Keyboard Maestro editor in Mojave, which is leading me to hope that the issue is indeed a system bug resolved in Mojave.
Is KM 9 likely to have fixed this particular crash problem? I'm still running High Sierra (10.13.6).
I'm having no trouble with Keyboard Maestro 9 and High Sierra.
If the crash report says anything like “BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBPLATFORM”, the bug is deep deep in the OS X system, and the only resolution is upgrading to 10.14 or later. This is not a bug in Keyboard Maestro, nor something that Keyboard Maestro can work around, it is a very low level bug in OS X that is thankfully finally resolved in 10.14.
Since the bug affects some people more than others, it is likely somewhat dependent on exactly what you do, how you do it, what hardware you have, what software you have, who knows.
So it is slightly possible that upgrading to version 9 will mitigate the issue for you, it is more likely it will have no effect. If it does import it, it is just blind luck - downgrading to Keyboard Maestro 7 would be just as likely to improve it, as would plugging a different keyboard in or pretty much any other change.
Using Keyboard Maestro 9.0.4 on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 on a iMac Retina 5K with no problems.
Engine crash for me was resolved some versions ago.
Thank You.

Occasionally crashes when I run "Activate Keyboard Maestro"，this is the log：
2019-12-18 09:11:47 Execute macro “/Keyboard Maestro” from trigger Duplicate Macro Palette
2019-12-18 09:11:53 Execute macro “KeyboardMaestro” from trigger Duplicate Macro Palette
2019-12-18 09:11:55 Engine Quitting
That is not a crash, or the engine would not say it is quitting.
What do your two macros do? The one named “/Keyboard Maestro” and the on name “Keyboard Maestro” (although frankly this has nothing to do with this topic, so probably should be a new question - Keyboard Maestro Engine is not crashing if the log says "Engine Quitting").
This is used to open https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/
This is the macro that caused the unexpected crash：
Well, it hasn't crashed in a week or so, so apparently there is some magic in the air. Anyway, I happily purchased KM9. A great product!
Yours,
