Thanks for your reply, Johan.

I'm not sure what caused this.  As best I recall, it was working last night
when I went to bed and today it is not.

The only unusual thing I recall doing late last night was importing the
XMLSupport library.  I haven't used it yet, this is just preparation for
future tasks.  Of course I also worked on some code and ran tests, but this
to me is fairly normal and unlikely to cause problems.  The program I'm
working on fetches HTML or JSON data from a url, parses it with NeoJSON (or
manually in the case of HTML), and produces a text file in a tab-delimited
format based on the parsed data.  Nothing I have done since I first
installed Pharo has anything to do with the GUI system and the only packages
I've installed are NeoJSON, NeoCSV, and XMLSupport.

I have three windows open.  A workspace, a transcript and a browser.  I tend
to keep the same windows up all the time so all three are long-lived windows
if that seems relevant.

If I create a new window of any of the three types, they seem to behave
normally.  Based on your comment that a right-click in the background
*should* bring up the World menu, it sounds like the bug must be something
to do with which window receives and processes the click event.  If there is
any diagnostic I can run to help gather more data just let me know and I
will be glad to run it and post the results.

In the meantime, is there a way (perhaps through keyboard shortcuts or
something) to go through the list of open windows, select them, and close
them?  Or even to do a a "close all windows"?  I ask because it seems like
new windows behave correctly so maybe if I can kill off the misbehaving ones
that will solve the issue. I can also open a new Workspace and paste in any
code to collect info or close the windows.

Or finally, if we cannot find a way to recover things properly then I
suppose I could learn how to file out my code and start again with a fresh
installation, redoing the installs of the couple of libraries I've added.
