Hi experts,

When I made the ProcessBrowser, I also made a debugWithTitle: method 
in Process that allowed debugging of any process: running or not, UI 
or not. It used to work in MVC and Morphic. (it's what the 
ProcessBrowser uses for its "debug" action).

However, more recent changes to Debugger (or something) have broken 
this functionality, at least in MVC.

I've looked at Debugger, but I can't quite figure out what's wrong.

Could someone who's familiar with the debugger code (Andreas? Scott? 
Dan? Ted?) point me in the right direction?

Here's a test that ought to work in both MVC and Morphic. This should 
be two separate DoIts.

p := [[123.4 printString ] repeat] forkAt: 30.

p debugWithTitle: 'oops'

In Morphic, this usually (well, often at least) works OK (though I 
have seen a "Recursive not understood error encountered" crash).

In MVC, a notifier will be raised. If you choose Debug, you will be 
able to interact with the Debugger briefly. Try stepping once or 
twice, and then click on one of the lines in the stack pane. You see 
the context flash into view and then get erased. At some point the 
whole MVC environment is likely to stop working properly.

I suspect that my code should be changed to correctly handle both 
environments. But I don't know what changes are necessary.

Is there something we can do to make it possible to debug an arbitrary 
process in MVC and Morphic?

Thanks,
