A new version of Tools was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Tools-fbs.284.mcz==================== Summary ====================
Name: Tools-fbs.284
Author: fbs
Time: 2 December 2010, 5:42:26.979 pm
UUID: 13b11c52-520e-b94a-83a4-a182cd1f2383
Ancestors: Tools-ul.282
When a method changes out from under your feet in the Debugger (e.g., you remove an instvar triggering a recompile of a method through which you've stepped), the Debugger blanks out contents. In the UI, this manifests as a blank code pane.
This change resets the contents ivar by setting it to the new, recompiled, CompiledMethod as a side effect of calling self selectedMessage.
This version is Eliot Miranda's improved version of my (fbs) initial submission.
