We have introduced a dispatch in the list, allowing every kinds of object to be displayed if the provide the good interface.
Right now, this interface is provided by String, Text, and Morph.
On the other hand, the PluggableMultiColumnListMorph is designed to take "real" object as entry, and then the wrapping method is used to specify how to split the object into multiple columns.
And by default, the wrappingMethod returns the printString of the object.
So in your case, the elements (which are collections) are turned into a String like '#('a' 'b' c')', and when the list iterates over the object, it iterates on characters.
Maybe the default behavior should be changed, because if you do not precise, it will hangs.
To fix your example, you can do
PluggableMultiColumnListMorph on: self list: #actorMultiList selected: nil
changeSelected: nil menu: nil keystroke: nil wrapSelector: #wrap:
wrap: item
^ item
Note that the result will be
a b c d
1 2 3 4
alpha 20 beta gamma
The list provides rows, not columns anymore
