Hello, Why 'more controls' button in the Book morph has '3' as its title? regards, Vaidotas
Hello Vaidotas,
You will have to ask the developer (yo 1/14/2005 19:25). It is defined this way in the method #fullControlSpecs in the class #BooklikeMorph. It is the #ByteString value 179.I guess that it is an artifact of some changes that have been made over the years.
I am still learning Squeak. I discovered this by searching for the string in the control's help bubble, 'More Controls'.
Note: On Win 7 the behavior is different than it it on Mac OS! On Win the character changes when I mouse it, On Mac, it does not.
Hopes this helps!

Traditionally BookMorph title bar uses ◊, since when the internal encoding of the system was MacRoman. The character is called "Lozenge".
When we changed the internal encoding to Unicode and I remember hand editing some of the fonts. I can't really remember what was going on. It is a bit funky that the code point is 179 yet showing Lozenge (i.e. the Accuny font has that glyphs at 179). From 3.8 and later versions, the code was carried over but now the default font uses Latin-1 encoding, and code point 179 is shown ad upper script three.

Yoshiki,
Thanks for your prompt reply! I don't understand the inner workings of fonts in Squeak but am happy to know that my guess was correct.
