4.6 Notifiers broken

Looks like some recent changes I saw float past relating to Warnings vs Errors vs whatever have broken the notifiers we get for problems. Instead of an actual useful window with a fragment of the stack and the ability to open a debugger by clicking on one of the contexts, we now get an almost useless window. It isn’t making my day any happier.

Esc key to reboot Universe, or any other key to continue...

Well there’s some extra confusion now; I had been trying to run the SocketTest tests from a doit in order to make a nice example of a bug we are having in Raspbian.

I was trying
SocketTest allTestSelectors do: [:sel|
        SocketTest run: sel]
which looked like it should work (whereas I really think something like SocketTest run ought to suffice) but that kept raising the new notifiers I am complaining about. Note that it opens *2* notifiers instead of stopping at the first one; that sound familiar from earlier discussions aboutWarning/Error/etc?

It turns out that running the SocketTest from the TestRunner does the same thing in an image at update 15079 but not 15039. So I suspect something got a bit borked in there.

Warnings were not working (see the thread, "Is this a bug with Step
Over?") and that was a showstopper for release, now its fixed, but the
current fix only gives us one chance to present application-formatted
messages to the user-audience of applications.

We'll be able to bring back the mini-stack for developers next release
but it will require a slight retooling of the debugger's API, so that
those cases where you want to see a mini-stack (developer) instead of
the formatted message (user), but we're out of time to do that for
this release.

Ah, rats. I didn’t notice the “can’t fix it now” part go by.
