Now I can reproduce the problem. It depends on how I start vim.
:-( Also, the problems I saw on Linux/GTK2 are either solved by setting
'mousemodel' to "popup_setpos" or else unreproducible. :-( I have two
ways to start Vim.app :
(1) From Finder.app, find Vim.app and CMD-O (or double click).
(2) From a shell, use the gvim shell script, which does the same as
$ /Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g &
Start Vim.app either way. Do
:set spell
and enter the text "hjkl" into a new buffer. Either right-click or
control-click on this to bring up the PopUp menu. Choose
'Change "hjkl" to' and then choose the first item, "hulk", from the
sub-menu. I find that nothing happens for a second or so, then the
PopUp menu re-appears. I make the same choices, and then the behavior
depends on how I started vim: if (1), then "hjkl" is replaced by
"hulk"; if (2), there is a long pause and then a crash.
Can anyone else reproduce this?
