A small bug in Dolphin

When you rename a class and get a list of methods that depend on it,
if you make a change to the method in the list and accept, the method
and list dissapear.

They do appear to be saved correctly although I've had the mispleasure
of a crash once or twice.

This is *not* a bug; it is the expected (and correct behaviour). The method
browser that pops up following a class rename shows methods that contain
references to the old class name. When you edit a method to change the class
reference, the method no longer matches the filter and the browser
(helpfully) removes the method from the list. This way you always know how
many methods there are left to edit. Neato!

I'm not sure about the crashes you've experienced but I'd suggest they are
to do with something else.
