windows/flaps not responding

Markus Schlager-2
Hi all,

I'm currently teaching smalltalk with pharo1.1 on Linux to pupils (10th
grade). Some of them are experiencing the following problem:

After reopening their pharo-image none of the windows left open before
nor the window-flap at the bottom are responsive to mouse-clicks.
Wherever you're clicking on, the world-menu shows up. You can open new
system windows though. These will behave nicely.

Is there any way to reactivate the old system-windows and the flap?
Unfortunately I discarded the buggy images.

Essentially the pupils had been reading ProfStef-Tutorials and some
workspaces and browsers opened.

Markus

I saw this kind of behavior and I do not remember if it was fixed.

Not from the top of my head.

Let us know if you have problem and tell us what you are teaching to them.
I have some extra material that I did not publish from my bot inc book. If you want I can send it to you.

Today this happened again to one of my pupils. Hence I have such an image
and changes available if this might be helpful.

It's a course on object-oriented modelling an programming. We did the
introduction to modelling concepts with Etoys. If you're reading German
you can find my materials here:

And the ProfStefTutorial (still under construction):
