Summary

0005631: Saving a class definition in the hierarchy browser causes a walkback

Description

Browse a class definition in the hierarchy browser, say, HierarchyBrowser. Make a trivial change (e.g., add and delete a space). Save. You get a walkback, as an attempt is made to re-select a non-existant element in the class list.

Additional Information

The uploaded fix seems to work. But there may be a deeper problem in that setClass:selector: is supposed to be called only for browser initialization, and it is being used for re-initialization.

The problem is one of a name tangle. The Hierarchy Browser overrides something in Browser. calls super and gets the wrong catagory list. I tried detangling what went on but decided the project too tricky for my skill at the time. Tim eventually stumbled across the same problem an wrote his report above and also 0001302 which is from the same problem I believe. The cure was to get the names separte so the meanings of the two lists would not get confused. I'd be more specific but this was some time ago and the memory is not fresh. Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
