[Cuis-dev] halt in TextEditor method causes vm fatal

[Robert Chifflet]

placed

self halt. in the TextEditor model setter

used World menu but vm went wild, big red area with yellow X

terminated.

Cuis 7.7 restarted with a warning.

the halt was there as a method change

reverted it

not anxious to repeat


am trying to discover why using the Morphic tool handles i am not finding
this class:  it seems it should be easy, but i had to go look for it ...
not what i want to demo.

I want to open Cuis, open World menu and use Open and click top item
Text Editor

enter some text ( first a space as mouse pointer sometimes flips to window
side resize icon and remains not an arrow  somtimes

But regardless, with text in place, i want to middle click and demonstrate
that we find our classes as models and morphs and whatever else is new.

I know there are layout YouTube exercises, but that is Build a GUI not

"This is Smalltalk: NOTHING you will Need is Hidden."

That effort ... in rehearsal ... is not working.  My simple demo fails me.

The critical method being in SystemWindow is a symptom, to me, not a
feature to teach.

But i am more than a decade out of touch with Pharo, and much longer out of
touch with Squeak.

Vanessa Freudenberg shows that Squeak is just there under Etoys. I don't
want to go that route: i want to go from a Live frame or edge of Something,
to the class that leads us onto the hierarchy Even If i have to fake it and
Know in advance where NOT to inspect or browse.

Please someone suggest a better start path than Text Editor.

I know Pharo has

ProfStef go.

That is so far  removed from where i want to start.  My pupil has seen
Python coding by their parent and was not impressed.

thanks again for your patience if you read this far ...

trying
