Hi, Not sure if this has anything specifically to do with Sierra version of MacOS but that's the only Mac I have to test on..

When I run the latest Lazarus from source forge download section, on Mac Sierra OS version, The IDE loads up and works fine except for when I try to save the project.

If I click any of the drop down menu items in the save project as dialog it hangs, with the spinning multicolor cursor and will not stop unless I force the application to quit.

In addition, clicking the save button hangs in that dialog if I don't click any of the drop down items.

Anyone on Mac had this issue?

I ran a disk first aid to make sure my hard drive is not the cause.

Then as an experiment I opened a new project (after forcing lazarus to quit then restarting it) and added a save dialog widget to the form. I launched the application without saving it and executed the save dialog. This one does not hang, i.e. in project1. However the lazarus app itself, hangs when save dialog accessed..

Wondering if this is a Sierra issue specifically. Not positive it is because I've seen other Sierra users on the internet able to use lazarus.

May be http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29911 which is supposed to be resolved in the trunk version.

Thanks. Just applied the patch to my local copy, instead of downloading entire source tree.

Fixes the issue.. on my computer.

Wow - fast reply, fast fix! Thanks (power of open source).

As for my new Mac Laptop though, not too impressed with the zippiness it does not have compared to all my windows laptops ever owned. This thing is slow! Oh well.

Strange. I had the exact opposite reaction.
You may want to have it checked for some defects...

Michael.
