Ross,

Correctly scrolling the class selection into view in a newly-spawned tool has afaik *never* worked properly in the morphic versions of the tools -- neither in a spawned Hierarchy Browser, as you mention, nor in a full browser spawned via a "browse full".

All the other panes have their selections properly scrolled into view -- it seems that it's just the class-list pane that has a problem.

The problem does *not* occur at all in mvc.

Surely someone out there has some Labor-day cycles to throw at fixing this obscure bug!

Hint to anyone taking in interest in tracking this down: look in PluggableListMorph method #selectionIndex:. For some reason, the scroll-selection-into-view branch is *never* taken for the class-list pane, though it kicks in perfectly for any other pane.

Most of the time when I open a hierarchical class browser the focal class is invisible, since it is below the very tiny scroll area that is shown. This seems a bit odd, since that class is highlighted (when scrolled into view, and it is controlling what you see in the other windows anyway).

I see this both on MS Windows and Linux, though I wonder if it's a font thing and it looks OK on, e.g., a Mac.
