open_dialog not functional on MacOS

[bobaronoff]

Having difficulty getting open_dialog() to work. Simple script as follows:

using Gtk
f = open_dialog("Pick a file" )

When run (via VSCODE) the dialog does appear. However any attempt to interact with the dialog causes the dialog to disappear and the REPL closes.

Environment: CPU- M1 apple silicon, MAC/OS - Monterey 12.6, Julia 1.8.1, gtk+3(3.24.34) installed via Homebrew, VSCode(1.71.2)

When run via the terminal interface, the following is displayed:

Assertion failed: (!surface->finished), function _cairo_surface_release_source_image, file cairo-surface.c, line 2092.
signal (6): Abort trap: 6
in expression starting at REPL[2]:1
__pthread_kill at /usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib (unknown line)
Allocations: 631458 (Pool: 630716; Big: 742); GC: 1
zsh: abort /Applications/Julia-1.8.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia

Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrect?

Thank you !!

PS: Have trialled open_dialog_native() in this environment. It works the first 1-2 times called. However if called a few times the dialog fails to dismiss and Julia becomes unresponsive necessitating a 'force quit'.

I'm having the same issues. Both for open_dialog just crashing and open_dialog_native hanging indefinitely.
