This is because 3.9a includes ToolBuilder (which provides an
abstraction over Morphic, MVC, Tweak, etc), and so Monticello is
using that rather than the Morphic-specific UI you're used to.
However, Monticello's ToolBuilder support is incomplete, and widgets
that should be trees display as lists. So the end result is that
Monticello in 3.9a has a somewhat crippled UI compared to previous
versions.
You can get it to use the old Morphic UI by commenting out the second
line of MCTool>>show, like so:
show
modal _ false.
"Smalltalk at: #ToolBuilder ifPresent: [:tb | tb open: self. ^
self]."
^self window openInWorldExtent: self defaultExtent; yourself
HTH,
