Hi Igor,
thanks!
Don't you agree with me that in this point, Pharo should have the same
behaviour as the other smalltalk dialects (VisualAge/IBM Smalltalk,
VisualWorks, Gemstone)?
i don't have strong opinion on that.
for me, this is not a big deal.

Greetings

I should give an example why this is not useful for me.
While developing, I use >>inspect to see, what is in any object AND I
want
the app to proceed.
E.g. while creating a report, I want to see the table columns in an
inspector.
I don't want to halt and debug, I only want to see an inspector.
self currentPage        add:
                (PDFDataTableWithColumnsCaptionElement new
                        captions: self costReportDaysTableColumns
inspect;
                        data: ...;
Now, I have to write it like that
self costReportDaysTableColumns inspect.
self currentPage add:
                (PDFDataTableWithColumnsCaptionElement new
                        captions: self costReportDaysTableColumns ;
                        data: ...;
Yes, this is possible but it is not so easigoing as simply put an inspect
somewhere.
you still can use it:
self currentPage        add:
                 (PDFDataTableWithColumnsCaptionElement new
                         captions: (self costReportDaysTableColumns
inspect; yourself);
                         data: ...;
...
Remarks:
1) I develop a seaside app. I am not interested in the System Window;-)
2) I cant find a selector >>onWindowClosed:
3) >>inspect is a selector which exists in every smalltalk dialect. In
every
smalltalk dialect I worked with, inspect returned the receiver.  It is
kind
of standard IMHO.
