Re: [Pharo-dev] [ANN] Pharo Launcher 3.0.1 released!

by Shaping

Hi Christophe. Is PL still broken? The PL download page still shows version 3.0.1, which does not open for me on Windows. Did you test the latest build successfully on Windows? Shaping --- PL 3.0.1 is still failing to open on Windows. The VM instance appears in TaskMan.

Re: Pharo is unresponsive after forcing quit

by Yanni Chiu

There is a discussion on discord, probably three weeks ago, about this problem on latest MacOS. A 20ms delay was added (done in the image, not VM), that improved the chances (but is not a root cause fix).

Re: Pharo is unresponsive after forcing quit

by Stewart MacLean

Hi Yanni, Actually, your solution does work! I just tried clicking on the desktop, but as you said you need to click on another application. Very strange - it seems to happen more frequently after a crash, but I have noticed it happening on normal startup. Clicking on another app must "free up the log jam"... somehow...
