There's plenty about 3.9 that is less than acceptable. I've moved back to 3.8 my forward development until 3.9 improves.
I recommend 3.8 for new Squeakers. 3.9 has some real usability issues that turn off new and old users alike; like lists jumping around upon selection is just one of many. 3.8 offers a cleaner start, less confusing, and you don't have Monticello packages with changes in the base image. The uninterruptable image lockups though, all on their own, were plenty enough for me to switch back.
3.9 has that new window look, but you can get that in 3.8 real easy if you want: http://map.squeak.org/package/3f07c64c-e22f-42ef-91e1-40c7e0de9185
That's very interesting, I'm using 3.9 fulltime and I don't have any of the problems you are experiencing. Although I'm not using Morphic lists. How can I see this bug, do you have a bug number? I did have the image freezing problem but we figured that out. It was the seaside code for comet. Bumping up the priority fixed the problem. There were some fixes I had to do to Monticello but that was only for Configurations.
I'm sure you very good reasons for using 3.8 I'd like to hear more about them to see if I can replicate them. Are you on a Mac, *nix, or Win?
I'm not trying to encourage you to move just curious. It's good to know what bugs you can expect to encounter.
