In step 4, it is sufficient to click once near the bottom of the pane
when the cursor changes from I-bar to arrow and then wait. This will
trigger the error, but the error window triggers itself recursively
around 50 times before stopping and displaying the windows.
I added an assert to catch it before recursion:
self assert: lastIndex < sourceString size.
The assert window itself throws up another error, but that is a topic
for another thread ;-).
