MVC freezes

Open MVC project, and click into it. Open Workspace, and enter and select a line of code. How do I _do it_? Center button does not work, and ctl-click locks up Squeak.

I have a three-button wheel mouse on a generic PC. 3- button mouse mapping is enabled. I'm trying to learn MVC, not Morphic.

Type line of code. Press ALT-d to do it.
A singel line will be auto-selected, for more than one line select your
code before pressing ALT-d

Thanks. Alt-d does it.

I guess there's no mouse button for this in MVC?

There should - MVC was the origin of the three mouse button usage.  
You have the red, yellow, and blue button, and the yellow button is  
mapped to pop up a context menu. In the windows VM, by default the  
right mouse button is mapped to yellow, if you enable the three-
button mouse setting, the right button will be "blue" and the middle  
one will be "yellow". "Middle" means clicking the scroll wheel  
nowadays - make sure your mouse driver actually generates a "button 3  
down" event for this.

Now, I just tried MVC in a 3.9 image on the Mac, and it is seriously  
broken, I saw freezes, sluggishness, missed clicks etc. Looks like  
nobody has ventured into these fields for a while.

If you are using the mouse anyway, what is wrong with a simple drag? Did you try to double-click items such as a word or at the beginning of a line or at the end (bottom) of all the text?

Drag works fine, but double click just toggles word highlighting. Mouse buttons do not work as in Morphic.

Ditto here under XP, which answers my question, but raises another about the nature of the two interfaces. I assume that we should be doing everything now in Morphic projects, even MVC? It's surprising to see the same Open menu in a MVC project window, even the option to open a Morphic project!

MVC is badly broken, right out of the box, for my 3.9-7067 image on XP.

Start MVC project, open workspace...freeze

Any tips?

I've noticed the same - in fact, after trying to get drag and drop
working on my own Morph, I started seeing the same behaviour in Morphic.

So far I'm not particularly impressed with 3.9. One more problem and I'm
giving up and going back to 3.8.

Michael.
