Hi Marcel,


thanks, merged via Morphic-ct.1988.

Hm, but it would be nice to fix them ... How could a nice solution for this look like?

For the new color picker morph that I'm "currently" (stuck a few months ago ...) reworking, I used event filters. But we still seem to lack a general, proper and simple concept for "modal queries in the interactive world".

It would be nice if these senders (ColorPickerMorph and PolygonMorph) could just use #doOneCycleNow, but this would also handle events, which is not okay. Qt has QEventLoop::ExcludeUserInputEvents [1] for this - should our #doOneCycleNow offer a similar parameter? Then we could also resize the host window etc. while picking a color. What do you think (except from the fact that we should fix this after 6.0)? :D


Best,

Christoph

Hi Christoph --

+1 on the fix itself
-1 on the implementation

This fits better in WorldState >> #doOneCycleNowFor:. Please ignore the few cases where clients invoke "displayWorldSafely; runStepMethods" manually.

Best,
Marcel

While running step methods, have the world become active. Before, any step methods/deferred UI message would have triggered the #default case in ActiveEventVariable only.

=============== Diff against Morphic-ul.1956 ===============

Item was changed:
----- Method: PasteUpMorph>>runStepMethods (in category 'stepping') -----
runStepMethods

+ worldState runStepMethodsIn: self].!
- worldState runStepMethodsIn: self
- !
