FYI, if anyone's interested, I finally posted a new 3.1alpha update for Whisker on the Whisker home page. See http://www.mindspring.com/~dway/smalltalk/Whisker-31alpha-4048update.1.cs .

(First load Whisker.0.92-Sq3.0.cs into a current 3.1alpha image, close the debugger window that comes up, then load the above changeset.)

I'll try to take a look at this later today.

Since Whisker isn't part of the base image, it's probably more accurate to call this a conflict with Whisker, not a [BUG] in 3.1alpha. It's odd that all browsers would break, though... could point to a non-Whisker problem. (or maybe not :-) )

(It's not too surprising that a conflict occured, since Preferences was just given an overhaul in 3.1alpha, and I was customizing Preferences a bit. Hopefully the new Prefs code will need less customizing... but if it still does, I should probably just submit the needed changes to the list.)

Grrr, sorry for the mangled subject in the prior message. Hope this makes it to the bug list.

Hello folks,

I upgraded to the newest alpha updates on both Linux and WIn98, starting from both a stock 3.0final and a 3.1alpha3910b set of changes and images.

All combinations seem to break all browsers if I have Whisker 0.92 installed before the updates. If I install Whisker afterwards, I get the same debug error during the update:

The Debug reports: False(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: Preferences class>>addNonExistingPreferences:catagory:default:ballonHelp: WhiskerBrowser class>>initializePreferences WhiskerBrowser class>>initialize UndefinedObject>>DoIt

BTW, is there a way to capture the top pane of the debug window/error handler window to a file, since my mail debug report seems not to work as I am behind a firewall?

Thanks,

Tom P.
