I just tried it with 3.0 and 3.1alpha (but without all new updates -- I'm loading them now), without a crash (also on a Mac -- G3 PB, 9.0.4, with 3.0Alpha6MT VM): - Go to Supplies and pull out an EllipseMorph - Bring up a halo on the EllipseMorph and open its viewer. - Click on the button to the left of the "Ellipse" name to bring up a menu, and choose "Add instance variable." - Type "velocity" into the pop-up
It does pause for a good while, but then it's there and workable. Dan -- could it be a low space problem? I've had running out of memory cause weird things to happen in the past.
The bug I'm currently working on is in the Play Writing Workbench. Besides the HeadMorphs being too large (which is annoying, but just cosmetic), I'm having a problem with the script entry area. I'm just using a PluggableTextMorph, but I'm finding that the cursor gets lost after every keystroke. - Click at the end of the text area, and the cursor appears. - Type one character - The cursor disappears - Type a second character and it appears at the TOP of the text morph
To get text into the script area, I currently have to do click-type-click-type-etc. It did work fine under 2.8 -- can anyone suggest where I might look to how PluggableTextMorphs changed under 3.0? Thanks!

I have been working with Mark Guzdial's tutorial on Morphic where he has the reader build an ellipse that falls more or less gravitationally. Every time in 3.1 when I add the instance variable "velocity" to the ellipse object, there's a brief pause (3-7 seconds) and then Squeak crashes completely.
This on a Mac 9.0.4 system with the 41 latest updates filed in as of tonight.

I've had the same problem with regular TextMorphs, which mostly ended up going away when I put the TextMorphs into tables.
For instance, you can do this as a test:
Make a RectangleMorph, set to table layout, hResizing=shrinkwrap, vResizing=shrinkWrap.
Embed a PluggableTextMorph, hResizing=spacefill, vResizing=spacefill
This should work OK. Perhaps you need to use table layout in your example.
