Probably most people don't look much at Tools > Process Browser.�� I never did until I doing the delay refactoring to keep track of when the timer event loop was running.
I often find several of the following processes stuck on a semaphore...
�� �� [ sem notNil
ifTrue: [��
sem wait.
view ifNotNil: [ view stylerStyledInBackground: text ] ] ] forkAt: Processor activePriority.
So I had a little dig.�� Now trying to fix this multithreaded code at this late stage has some risk of destabilising things, so I propose the following minimal effective change...��
�� �� [ sem notNil
ifTrue: [��
(sem waitTimeoutSeconds: 5) ifFalse: [
view ifNotNil: [ view stylerStyledInBackground: text ] ] ] ] forkAt: Processor activePriority.
Can anyone more familiar with SHTextStyler than the half hour I've had comment if they foresee any problem with that?
