My racket version is 8.5. ![截屏2022-07-22 10.04.49](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/c9b118f1e1654ea3cbbb33d6eb6f138665716904.jpeg) For example, when I opened the about window, I can't close it neither by clicking the red button nor by press C-w. other windows have the same problem.

Anyone else running macOS 13 beta? I'd love to hear about failures to reproduce this as well as successes.... ---

On macOS 13 beta, nothing is closeable unless quitting drracket entirely. video with minimum code: [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](https://imgur.com/a/wOqmizW) ```scheme #lang racket/gui (define main-frame (new frame% [label "OK"])) (send main-frame show #t) ``` However, if I run the same code in terminal by `racket file.rkt`, the window is closable. It might be a drracket specific issue. ![Screenshot 2022-07-23 at 9.51.05 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/41f8671dea3a60f34a8e48c46f2ca98956616bd3.jpeg) edit: It's also reproducible on snapshot 8.6.0.2--2022-07-23(cbd42bf/a) [cs] downloaded from utah. ---

Yep, that's pretty much completely broken. Sigh. ---

@ixnij and @slbtty: Thanks for the report! The candidate for the upcoming v8.6 release now includes a repair for this problem: [https://pre-release.racket-lang.org/](https://pre-release.racket-lang.org/) Can you check whether it works correctly on your machine? ---

Ok! I'm downloading the dmg. By the way, I'm in China mainland, there is no official racket mirror. It's quite slow for me to download racket packages. ---

Great! The windows are closable. But there is another problem: I can't launch DrRacket by click the icon in the launchpad, but I can launch it by ./DrRacket directly in terminal ---

I'm not sure I know what you mean when you refer to clicking the icon "in the launchpad". Here's a set of sort of ridiculously fine-grained steps, I'm curious to know what happens when you do this: - Go to the Finder - Open a new window using cmd-N - Click "Applications" on the left side in the Favorites list - Scroll down to Racket v8.5.900 - Double-click the Racket v8.5.900 folder - Double-click the DrRacket icon ---

Yes, I mean that @jbclements: I also followed the steps you said, DrRacket can't be opened either. ---

The fix works for me. I have no problem using the launchpad. ---

I assume that DrRacket is installed at `/Applications/Racket v8.x`. What will happen when you run `open /Applications/Racket v8.x`? Does it produce any error? ---

There are situations wherein macOS decides that because of how an application was installed, that it should not be allowed to refer to paths relative to the application's installation. In some versions, I believe that the solution in these situations (this sounds bizarre, I know) is to drag the DrRacket application icon out of the folder that it's in, and then drag it back in again. I believe this is the same issue mentioned in the GitHub issue below, and that thread suggests running ```scheme xattr -r -d Racket\ v8.5.900/DrRacket.app ``` You may want to take a look at other parts of that thread, though, to do some diagnostics and figure out what's going on before fixing it... > > > \*\*What version of Racket are you using?\*\* > e.g., 8.0.0.1 > DrRacket, version 8.0….0.1--2021-01-16(b09e10d/a) \[cs\]. > \*\*What program did you run?\*\* > Just double click on DrRacket or from terminal \`open DrRacket.app\` > > \*\*What should have happened?\*\* > DRRacket opens and you can run things > > \*\*If you got an error message, please include it here.\*\* > If I do > \`open --stderr ~/tmp/err --stdout ~/tmp/out 'DrRacket.app'\` > ~/t.err contains > \`\`\` > standard-module-name-resolver: collection not found > for module path: (lib "drracket/drracket.rkt") > collection: "drracket" > in collection directories: > /Users/mark/Library/Racket/8.0.0.1/collects > \`\`\` > > > \*\*Please include any other relevant details\*\* > macOS 11.1 Apple Silicon similar non starting for other apps in the release. > > However if I run from the terminal the executable inside DrRacket.app e.g. > \`'/Applications/Racket v8.0.0.1/DrRacket.app/Contents/MacOS/DrRacket'\` > > It all works ---
