Hi Marcel, hi Lauren,


I suggested an alternative fix to this problem in Tools-ct.1145 (inbox). Am I missing anything else here?


To reproduce the bug, open a system browser, focus the system category list without selecting any item, and press Escape.


Best,

Christoph

... Very strange.  Both raise a debugger on MNU for me in
mac-alpha6.0-21442-x64.

I'll append my list at the end.  I'm curious what yours is, since you
don't have the problem.

Sorry for the poor wording.

PackageInfo>>category:matches: starts with a test for categoryName isNil
and returns false in that case.

Providing 'nil' is not a valid system category. Now, anything can happen. Usually, we rely on the fact that it is not possible to have package with a nil name.

Understood.

I had presumed #category:matches: and #packageOfSystemCategory:ifNone:
had the same contract for systemCategory, so matched
#packageOfSystemCategory:ifNone: to also allow nil.
