I really think that for the process of polishing 2.0 from beta to release we need a new label for issues. Bugs like the one below are really important, they might be silly or easy to fix, but they leave a bad impression. We want as many people as possible to help, but UX failures like this will scare away many users, most won't be as helpful as Andy to even report the issue. We as developers know that 2.0 is OK because we use it every day, but occasional users who just try 2.0 for the first time can't know that. So not HorribleErrorBlockingEverything but maybe HorribleUXQualityBugScaringAwayNormalPeople as label ?

Pharo 2.0 - System Error Handling Failed

by Andy Burnett

I am running the Pharo 2.0 beta, and I am getting a lot of System Error Handling Failed events. Is this simply a product of the beta status, or have I somehow enabled some kind of debug switch? For example, in a workspace I execute a doit on: fd := FileDialogWindow new. fn := fd openInWorld. When I click OK in the dialog box, I get the System Error screen. On other occasions I get the screen, press space to continue, then I get the debug window, and when attempting to debug it bounces me back to the System Error screen. Normal behaviour for the beta, or operator error on my part? Cheers Andy

StHub code browser feature

Hi! I remember the first time we could take a peek at SmalltalkHub there was a beautiful online code browser in it. Is re-adding it planned in the future? I found it really useful to take a look at projects before installing them in my image. Cheers! Bernat. -- Bernat Romagosa.

Spec: how to select contents of TextModel on focus

by Sean P. DeNigris

As the user tabs through the text fields of my Spec dialog, I'd like for the text to be selected in the currently active field. How do I do this? I played with #readSelectionBlock:, which seems to be sent during initialization but not navigation, and #whenReadSelectionIsChanged:, the purpose of which I can't figure out.
