I have been investigating why, in a squeak-dev image, Shout fails to syntax highlight in a MC Snapshot Browser on the working copy of a package but correctly highlights in a snapshot browser on a version of a package.

It turns out that when creating a snapshot browser for a working copy, ToolBuilder is used (see MCTool>>show) but when browsing a package version ToolBuilder is NOT used (see MCTool>>showLabelled: ).

Which one of these is "correct"?

Is ToolBuilder used by anything else?

ToolBuilder is correct, and provides a layer of abstraction for things used by tools (such as browsers) so they are not tied into Morphic.

I can fix the Shout problem by making it work with ToolBuilder. But there is little point in doing that if, in the future, ToolBuilder is not going to be used.
