Description (last modified by westram)
I am running arb version 7.0.1 on macOS Monterey version 12.4. This was installed using home-brew.
Arb is able to run fine until the is used. Upon using the , the software freezes. I am unable to interact with any of the buttons in arb or close the windows. To close arb, I must quit XQuartz from the dock.
For example, upon opening arb, I try to change the suffix from .arb to something else. Clicking the box shows a blinking cursor. Upon trying to type into the box, the cursor disappears with nothing typed in. It still says .arb. I am no longer able to interact with the GUI by pressing the buttons and must quit XQuartz.
This issue has also been reported for
- an Apple silicon M2 Max (OSX14.1.1)

- what hardware do you use?
- is Rosetta involved?
- does this also happen when key-commands are sent to the -window or to the editor window (e.g. move cursor in editor)?

Another reported the same issue:
- OS: MacOS Monterey Version 12.4
- Hardware:!MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
Apple M1 Max
64 GB - installed using homebrew
Reinstallation of Rosetta using /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license fixed the problem temporarily (until next reboot?). (probably just did trigger the same thing as comment:5)
I got no idea what to do from arb side to fix that issue.
Comments or suggestions are very welcome!

Possible workaround:
- start terminal in macOS
- in terminal run command xterm
- press STRG+D
- start arb
Alternative workaround:
- start terminal in macOS
- in terminal run command xterm
- in xterm run command arb

- Priority changed from critical to major
workaround is reported to help
Analysis of workaround:
- xterm obviously does something that arb does not do.
- that something is performed by xterm only when xterm receives keystrokes.

Hi,
Thank you so much for the workarounds. Both of them work to resolve this issue.

Thanks for the workaround goes to Jan Gerken from the SILVA team. Without him the OSX port of arb would no longer exist.
