3.9 issues...

I've finally had a chance to play with the Squeak 3.9 release under  
Windows.

I like the main toolbar, the look and functionality. It causes an error if  
I click on the view-world-hierarchy icon, a particularlly frustrating one  
since it doesn't actually appear and the screen seems to lock up unless  
you tab to Squeak. This doesn't seem like it's fully done, so I'm not  
sweating it.

What really is troubling me is that I can't seem to make the Workspace  
work. I'm not sure if the key-bindings have been changed to Ctrl from Alt,  
but neither Ctrl nor Alt + D/I don't seem to work, i.e, there's no  
indication that they're doing anything, they don't seem to produce any  
results (although the D seems to occasionally erase everything selected).

Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

The Toolbar is from SmallLand... it's not enabled by default, thus is  
never got tested. Back when we did the merge of SmallLand, I hoped  
that the Smallland
peopel would use (and test) this, but they did not, at least we got  
no fixes after the big merge. Nevertheless, I think it was good to  
have 3.9 as a mergepoint between
SqueakLand/SmallLand and Squeak.org, even if it turned out that  
neither SmallLand nor SqueakLand ever had a look.

No problem at all here.

I should also point out that the "Do it again" menu item doesn't seem to  
do anything (but ocasionally erase the contents of the workspace) and  
there is no inspect or "do it" menu item.

I have a 3.8gamma on this machine used for the Bots Inc stuff and it works  
fine (with Ctrl & Alt & menu items).

Are you using Windows (XP SP2), Markus?

I personally don't use that, so I have no idea... it has nothing to  
do with "do it", the only useful I know of is to do a "search and

again. And that seems to work here.

No problem here, the Worspace has "inspect it"  and "do it".

How do you open a Worskpace?

No, Mac OS X.

OK, I redownloaded and not only does everything work, but the old menus  
are back and the "view object hierarchy" works without crashing the system.

So...yay?<s>
