Hi guys,

I suspect what you are experiencing is rather some bug in mono 4.0 (or 
in FreeBSD port) - I am running at the moment MonoDevelop 5.7.1 and 6.0 
beta (for D) on older version of mono (3.2.3 and 3.10) and everything 
works normally (although I always built MonoDevelop manually from their 
source, because port was out of date)

Kind regards,
Ivan
