[Cuis-dev] Bizarre (un-understood?) behavior of Transcript

[Gerald Klix]

Me knows, IHMO it's annoying.

The "faulty" code is in SmalltalkEditor>>#doItProfiling.

Please find attached a slightly changes method that
queries a preference value to determine whether it should print or not.

Use
`Preferences setPreference: #doitShowResultOnTranscript toValue: true`
to restore the old behavior.


HTH,

Gerald
