Annoyance: Hierarchical Browser

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.
