Don't need to touch compile, build or s= omething else. Just trying to type a word in the editor. So putting a print= command won't help as nothing of my program is compiled or executed. Or yo= u have a crystal ball? The only pointer GPS could have a problem with are those in the handles pro= vided by simple components in the gnoga library. As I am apparently the on= ly one having this problem I suppose that GPS has I problem with what I try= to do.=20 GPS is a better text editor so I don't get what the problem could be.=20 The difference in behaviour between GPS 2016 (BOD) and 2017(CDT) is also co= nfusing. I suppose that some of Apple's system protection measures are to b= lame too. GPS 2016 is tolerated and hangs forever. I have a quad core, so 3= cores to go. 2017 is suspicious and gets killed. Not really motivated to play a match of ping pong between Apple and Adacore= with myself as ball. Will send the crashlog to Adacore but I don't expect something useful. More out of despair than actually hoping that it would change something, I = tried to open my project on my old Mini Mac. Has 2GB RAM and the latest Mac= OS which can be installed is 10.7.5. The latest gnat which works is 2013.= =20 Ok GPS uses X11 and is ugly as hell but no crash, no BOD. Made the changes = I wanted to try. Plugged the USB stick back to my main desktop and no more = crash!? WTF? No idea what, why and where the problem is. I tried to deactivate the autocomplete in GPS. No change. Don't know how th= e feature is called when you type the name of an "object.", package or type= and GPS shows the different possibilities available. Thought that it could be that one somehow chasing its own tail. Thanks Laurent
