Hello Peter, bug exist in 3.9 image thank you for your report

Best procedure is using squeak-dev only for announcing a new bug report,
and report the bug on mantis (the squeak bug database)
Here is the procedure.
Go through step 1-2), or 3) if you have time, and 4) if super good will

In advance, thank you

Nicolas


1) check if bug already reported

2) if not, create an account, login and report the bug
(Project Squeak, category Graphics, summary [BUG] Color fromString: incorrect if 6 letter color symbol)

Once created, post a reference and short summary on squeak-dev

3) unless a SUnit test case already exist covering this bug, write one
- open a change set sorter and create a new change set (ColorTestFromString)
- complete existing test ColorTest>>testFromString in your browser
- run it with SUnit test runner
- file out the change set from change set sorter, you obtain a file ColorTestFromString.1.cs
- upload this file in your mantis bug report

4) unless a patch already exist (Frank seems to say code is working in 3.8 image...), create one
- open a change set sorter and create a new change set (ColorPatchFromString)
- change ColorTest class>>fromString: in your browser
- run it with SUnit test runner: BEWARE you must not break another feature...
- file out the change set from change set sorter, you obtain a file ColorPatchFormString.1.cs
- upload this file in your mantis bug report

That's the golden way for easing harvesters job,
also for providing good bug tracking capability and feedback.
(harvesting is a teddious work, even with bug database help).
