[FaguiCurtain]

I am running on Xamarin 6.3 on MacOS Sierra on a recent iMAC

I have loaded FSharp.Charting.Gtk (0.90.14)

1. Problem when executing after compilation

this is what I get

The beginning of the error log looks like

2. problem when executing in FSI

in FSI, the chart window opens immediately but it takes 20-30 sec for the chart to actually appear.
is it normal it takes so long ?
When i hover on the chart, i see no coordinates, is it normal ?
i cannot close this window. As you can see on the screenshot, the 3 buttons on the upperleft of the chart window are not activated. I cannot find a way to make this window disappear. is it normal ?

thanks

I have seen this problem on Windows too - the chart only renders when you move the chart window. And then the chart window only disappears when you move the chart window.

It feels like a Gtk problem, or an interaction between OxtPlot and Gtk.

@nosami if you ever get a chance to try this out on Mac OSX that would be great

From fsharpi on OSX, the chart launches instantly and the close buttons work as expected.

From Visual Studio for Mac, I see the same issues (delayed start and no close buttons). I'm not sure what the issue might be.
