Hi Stef, I tried dragging method to another category it both a
HierarchyBrowser and a SystemBrowser but could not seem to reproduce
that.  Which method did you move and what type of browser?

Yesterday in the board meeting there was a question about whether
there are any "end users" who use Squeak or is it just all developers.
 Like you, I believe there are and that for Squeak to be a viable
platform for them debuggers should not be popping up.  :)

But those calls to #isThisEverCalled are put in with conservatism --
they should _not_ be getting hit and so I would really like to know
how you reached this..
