Hello Squeakers,

I am trying to add TextAttributes to the text which is shown in the definition panel of OBBrowsers. My attempt to add TextAttributes to the results of #text methods of OBNodes had no effect.

E.g. I changed OBUPackageVersionNode>>text to:

^ package longDescription asText allBold

and expected to read the details of package versions in bold text. But nothing changed.

You are probably doing this correctly, but something higher up is turning it into a String. The way I debug this is:

1. Open an instance of a window that makes the call 2. Minimize it 3. Place a self halt in the method you want to trace. 4. Unminimize the window

If you put a halt in while the window is active, you are likely to get an endless stream of debuggers until you minimize the window again
