It's worse. The virus scan completing did not result in Squeak
recovering. It still keeps flashing "Warning: event buffer overflow" and
otherwise acting hung. That fresh mouse events aren't finding room to be
appended to the buffer means that the buffer isn't being emptied from
the other end, even though the original cause of the problem is gone.
Apparently it isn't even trying to catch up on the queued-up events and
begin responding again, and it looks like I'll have to resort once more
to the three-fingered salute.
I'm getting rather tired of Squeak crashing at the drop of a hat. My
Java development tools do not do so. My C/C++ development tools do not
do so. My other applications do not do so -- not even the ones from
Microsoft, these days. Those go or wonk out on a weekly basis but not a
daily one.
Is there a tweak to make it much more robust, or is it just a matter of
giving it time to mature more?
