Ok. I opened the issue 21689
2018-04-11 22:06 GMT+02:00 Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self@gmail.com>:
The point is a list of strings should be displayed as
a b c
and not
'a' 'b' 'c'
It shows that often people confuse asString and printString BTW.

Hi,
I am sorry for interrupting this conversation... but
| s | s := 'Hello, ''Funny'' World'. s displayString = s "false" and not true!
Cheers, Alex

Yes I think that
| s | s := 'Hello, ''Funny'' World'. s displayString = s. "true" s printString = s. "false"
is ok and widgets should use displayString.

Isn't #displayString implemented in terms of #displayOn: the same way #printString is implemented in terms of "printOn:"?
And in the case of String #displayString should return the receiver (it is, self), so the following should be true.
| s | s := 'Hello, ''Funny'' World'. s displayString = s. "true" s printString = s. "false"

Hi.
According to the comment of #displayString it should be used as default textual representation of objects in the UI:
"While printString is about to give a detailled information about an object, displayString is a message that should return a short string-based representation to be used by list and related UI frameworks. By default, simply return printString." "asString should not be implemented in Object, and kept for conversion between strings, symbols, text and characters."
But String itself does not respect this message:
'some string' displayString " ==> '''someString''' "
Is it bug? Or is there any reason for this?
Best regards, Denis
