Nice! Yes this resolves the issue for me on mac - thanks for the quick fix!

It took me a moment to realise that I needed to remove the spurious Terminal.Gui.Elmish.dll reference, but once I had removed that and done dotnet add package Terminal.Gui.Elmish it all worked perfectly.

Hopefully this resolves your issue too Brett.

edit: I really want to understand this line here! let t = Application.Current.GetType() = typeof<Terminal.Gui.Dialog>
