Nothing. Works fine.

Depends on your VM settings. Check the Info.plist file for button mappings.

Chris meant blue click which by default is mapped to middle-button click on the Mac VM. You need to enable middle-click support in System Preferences. Press down your mouse's scroll wheel to get the middle click event then. If you have an Apple Magic Mouse, install MagicPrefs to get middle-click support.

On a Mac laptop with only a touch pad you need to map right click to blue button in in the VM's Info.plist (set SqueakBrowserMouseControlButton2 to 3). Then ctrl+two fingers+click works for resizing.

But essentially the whole Squeak UI is designed for use with a 3-button mouse.

I often find that the method names are obscured and dragging the window does not really uncover them, unless you really drag a lot.
