Hi, Yes, the method is called again by the printing code. For this, there is #haltOnce. put Halt once. and enable it via the system menu (or Halt enableHaltOnce). Marcus On Mar 4, 2013, at 7:41 PM, Paul DeBruicker <pdebruic@gmail.com> wrote:
If in Pharo-1.4 I put a halt in a printOn: method (e.g. Interval>>#printOn: ) and then printIt
Interval from: 0 to: 200
I get an endless loop of

Is there a common way to debug printing statements?
Thanks
