Running latest versions of Java, MacOS etc. Error I get on start up:

```auto
	0 AppKit 0x00007fff456832e3 -[NSWindow(NSWindow_Theme) _postWindowNeedsToResetDragMarginsUnlessPostingDisabled] + 386
	1 AppKit 0x00007fff4568068c -[NSWindow _initContent:styleMask:backing:defer:contentView:] + 1488

	3 libnativewindow_macosx.jnilib 0x000000011f3293fe Java_jogamp_nativewindow_macosx_OSXUtil_CreateNSWindow0 + 398
	4 ??? 0x000000010c99aa88 0x0 + 4506364552
)

```

Any help is greatly appreciated.  
Thanks,

What version of Processing, and what model MacBook? Also confirm by latest MacOS you mean 10.14: Mojave.

Java version is included with PDE – mac system java doesn’t / shouldn’t matter, as PDE doesn’t use it.

I am with the same trouble.

Simply running a sketch with:

size(800,600,P3D);

the console prints:

0 AppKit 0x00007fff4010dccc -[NSWindow(NSWindow\_Theme) \_postWindowNeedsToResetDragMarginsUnlessPostingDisabled] + 386  
1 AppKit 0x00007fff4010b07c -[NSWindow \_initContent:styleMask:backing:defer:contentView:] + 1488

thanks, good to have confirmation.

you might consider add test ( and answer )  
my questions above, about running ( any ) provided examples

because as given the info alone  
@ghamantorr and @Maestr0  
suggests that processing 3.5.3 not work on MacOS Mojave (10.14) at all,  
what would be very bad. . . . . .  
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ following comment is not to be taken seriously \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
( and as i only spend 40$ for my computer but most processing examples run

- some with funny info / warning
- some need change GL system settings
- all very slow…

so i am still very happy & lucky )
