Can't enter class comment?

Tim Johnson
Hi,

Fresh 4.2 image.  Opened Browser.  Made a new category.  Made a new class.  Tried to change the class comment but can't.  Can't, can't, can't.  Can you?  For me, it always goes back to "THIS CLASS HAS NO COMMENT!" What is going on?

Thanks,
Tim

Argh!  I forgot that the information box at the bottom of the browser window is read-only.  Of course I can add my comment by clicking on "?" and editing it there.

Sorry.  I'm confused.  Or am I?

Thanks,
Tim

Do you get an error when you command (or option or control or alt) s to
save?

I took 4.2 trunk, and it worked for me.

And for me, it doesn't say "this class has no comment".  It says:

    A Randal is xxxxxxxx.
    Instance Variables

Are you sure you're using the system browser?

Tim,

Confused or not, at least you are taking the time to comment your
classes. This is time well spent, and it is a step that is sometimes
overlooked by even the most experienced Smalltalkers.

Indeed.

Also, it wouldn't be hard to accept the comment if the annotation is edited. Would that be helpful?
