Sometimes UI elements are grayed out in native dialog(the load or save dialog. - tkbd - 05-13-2020

This happened in Wings3D v2.2.5 and recent versions in MacOS.
Sometimes UI elements are grayed out in native dialog(Import , load and/or save dialogs).
I don't know which file I selected because the high-light-color doesn't change in the list from a file selector.
In addition,The sidebar and pull-down menus that up/down the directory hierarchy are also grayed out.

Then,I don't know if the save button also responds when this happens, so I'm pressing the enter key.

I heard that next Wings3D version will had update the wxWidget library, so I hope this problem is fixed.Smile

It was 2.2.5 that had the new wxwidgets version, so those problems will probably remain in that case,
sorry just don't know what todo, wxwidgets on mac is kind of bad.

I see.
If will meet the bug, I would try to restart Wings3D.
Thank you.

I missed the "sometimes" that is really strange, if you can figure out a pattern
of when it happens it might help.

It happened when I was modeling for a long time with a lot of polygons.
(About 100000 faces(polygons)...,No texture use...,and I had worked at least one hour...)

In particular my mac's memory is 8GB and Core i5 2.8GHz (It's over 5 years ago)
(And,Manipulating the models of that data size was just a bit heavy for my old mac.)
