If you close a running project on a Mac, the profiler kicks in and opens it's Run Monitor windows: 1) create InputOutput sample project 2) run it (don't terminate the app) 3) close the project. The profiler shows CPU Usage, Memory Usage and other profiler windows with an error about wrong platform: "To use this feature....." Closing a running project somehow triggers this.
the description is not quite correct - the tab with indicators appears when program is started (it is just left behind the 'Navigator' tab on 'unsupported' platforms). Once you close the project, it's 'Navigator' tab also get closed => Indicators became visible...
This issue is not relevant any more..
