Since Carl & I implemented the '--all--' feature, I'm invested in this
discussion; sorry I missed out on the earlier thread.

The intention of the '--all--' feature is clear, I think.  Prior to the
feature, the browsers were very unfriendly, in that you had to hunt & peck
through each method category to find a method.  

The intentional implementation of this feature is that when you click on a
class, the '--all--' category will be selected by default, offering you a
quick look at a pane-full of the available protocol.  At least one
commercial Smalltalk works this way (Visual Smalltalk Enterprise).

The original design of the '--all--' feature also provided for adding
methods while the '--all--' is selected.  The new method should go into the
'as yet unclassified' category, which should be dynamically generated if it
does not already exist.

I was not aware that this feature was broken.  I guess I normally create or
select categories prior to creating new methods.

In my opinion, we should just fix the bug(s) so that the feature works as I
originally designed it to work.

Cheers,
