Pharo image freeze and "Alt-." has no effect

Hi Steven,

Can you tell us which platform you're on, and the output of pharo --version

Cheers, 

Alistair

Hello everyone,

I'm new to pharo, and was writing a simple 2D game with Athens for rendering to practice a bit. I'm loving the environment so far, developing the game while it's running is really enjoyable :-) .

However, when the game is running, the pharo image will freeze at a random time. Alt-. doesn't make my image back to normal, the only solution I found is closing my image and opening it again, until the next freeze...

I don't really know what to do to investigate this bug, there is no output from pharo about this. The only thing I thought about is starting from a fresh image, importing my code and running it again to ensure it wasn't some messy state in the image I was using, and it froze even when running my code from a fresh image.

What can I do to debug it? Do you need more information to give me a direction?

Just in case you need it, here is the source: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pfn7ccw27i4nqr7/Creakout-debug.st?dl=0

Thanks,

Just for starters, can you try with dev-latest VM & Image...

Steven

welcome. I hope that you will make a great implementation. 

If you have a reproducible case where alt+ does not work we are interested. 

Denis improved the situation but we lack of a case that we can reproduce to 

improve it again.

It looks like the freeze is not present on the latest dev release Ben. I will tell you if it just takes time to appear but it looks much more stable.

Thanks!
