Hi there, I often get in a situation where 'ghost windows' remain in the Pharo window (see screenshot). These windows are closed (see taskbar) and I cannot select nor click these ghost windows to remove them. Is there a way to remove them programmatically? They cause visual clutter when working with multiple real windows and I do not want to rebuild an entire development image each time this occurs. Though this is in Pharo3, I think I occassionally had these in Pharo1.4 as well. cheers Johan
Yes it happens to me form time to time but it is difficult to debug the situation. On 07 Apr 2014, at 08:53, Johan Brichau <johan@inceptive.be> wrote:

Hi Try holding down shift and then right click on the world (or in a workspace execute: âWorld findWindow: nil.â). A âfind windowâ pop-up should appear. Look through the PanelMorphs by selecting each one and the haloâs should appear. If you find the correct one then delete it and it should be removed. Tested in Pharo1.3 and Pharo3 and works for me.

SystemWindows allInstances [ :w | w delete ]. cheers -ben Johan Brichau wrote:
