The error is quite specific, you have to click on the maximise green button on a Mac and go full screen - if you just resize or alt-click that button you donât seem to get this problem (at least I havenât been able to - but Ted hasnât confirmed this yet). So I donât think its quite so bad - and in fact it doesnât always crash, but I have got stuck and been unable to un-maximise, however I could save my work. Tim

Hmmm, this is worrisome. My JRMPC competition opens for registration in less than a month, and registrants may use either Windows or Mac. Since the competition is based on Pharo 7, it is absolutely crucial that Mac-using registrants be able to successfully run Pharo 7.
Since my Mac mini died last month, I can no longer pursue this matter, so hopefully someone else can follow up on this soon.

Hi Tim,
I did that before (see thread history) and other kinds of magic too. Probably (still) a VM error? (because it happens with squeak also, which uses same VM?)
However, it is beyond my skills and knowledge No idea how to solve this.
The problem has been around for much too long It bounces people away that arrive for the first time at Pharo/Smalltalk. (and they surely won't know about a workaround)
When the first simple things they try freezes the whole environment, they'll go away and probably never return. That was then their first and last impression of Smalltalk.
