1. The CharacterScanner skips parts with white-spaces. I couldn't figure out how to get a continuously filled area. 2. The order of the text annotations in the text is more or less random, so you if you have overlapping styles things get unpredictable. 3. The cursor is drawn first, then the text with the annotations. So if you have a background color it disappears behind the rectangle. Nothing insolvable, but very hard to fix without changing the complete system.

(I looked once a year ago but now have new light of recent trials on XTream) Why NSMultiByteBinaryOrTextStream don't use a NSDecoder pattern ? Maybe it would help retiring the basicNext & co protocol... Why does NSTDecoder peek answers nil when atEnd ? Cannot nil be a regular answer ? Why NSBuffer use hardcoded buffer length of 100 ? Is this just an example ? I ask because buffering is a key to efficiency both for files and TextConverter. Micro-detail in NSTReadingChunks: Why #skipSeparators use explicitRequirement whiel #skipSeparatorsAndPeekNext provides an implementation for skipSeparators (test isSeparator) This is a first fast read of source, no time to even load or execute, but I can see a lot of work here.

[Pharo-project] Thanks

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

I was dead tired over the week-end so I slept :) Now I was watching the mailing-list and the bugtracker and I upgraded to the latest 1,1 and this is really cool. This is cool to see all these small improvements one by one making the overall system better. I really like the energy that we are all creating. This is cool. This is why in the past I was a squeak harvesters (even before the cool bugarchive viewer), because I really hoped that we could build a nice and cool system. And now this is happening with pharo and I like that. Once we will have fixed and improved we will be able to focus on some larger chunks :) Stef

The problem is that the text editor does not really support background color. I have an extension that does it, but it looks ugly. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch

You could also change the "background" colors of the panel.
