OK, so when we have any editor still open when we quite and re-start servoy eclipse the client will show up completely gray on the mac.  
This seems to be a true mac issue unfortunately.  
The solution is to close all editors before quitting servoy eclipse.  
The real downside of this is that we have to re-open all forms that we were working on after a re-start.  
I suggest that, for that case, the complete tree status is restored so that we can get up to speed very fast again…

Hi Marcel,

What do you mean with ‘client’? The debug (rich) client ? This closes after I quit Servoy and launches just fine again.

I tried to reproduce this but it all seems to work fine except that my form and relation editor doesn’t stay open after I relaunched Servoy.  
The JavaScript editor seems to stick though.

Mac OS X 10.5.5  
Version: 4.0.1 - build 628  
Java 1.5

Can’t reproduce. Then again I can’t seem to keep the form editors open either… ![:|]( "Neutral")

Maybe it is because I am working on a newer version ![:(]( "Sad")

Anyway, the fact that the form editor does not stay open is for that very reason that I mentioned.

Same here. Any form editors left open when closing Servoy Developer are not opened when Developer is restarted.

That is on purpose. Otherwise your smart client will turn gray when you start up a debugging session with it.  
It throws too many errors for some reason…

this should be all fixed for 4.1.  
also the form editors now stay open on the mac, and if you somehow still have problems with them its a setting that you can then enable so that editors are closed and the blank screen problem should go away.
