[squeak-dev] Preference browser - search field

Using Damien's 3.10 dev image:

The search field gets character order scrambled if I type moderately fast.
Typing either super-fast or super-slow works fine.

Any clues?

Thanks - Sophie

Wasn't it always like this?

Looks to be due to a deferred ui message in PluggableTextMorph>>accept.
Given that text morphs do type-ahead scanning without waiting for the event
loop to run it would seem to be interfering.

I've tested with the resetting of  the selection being not deferred and it
seems to work as it should.

This method is already overridden in Polymorph (for keyboard focus handling)
so I'll make the change for the next version of Polymorph.

It's a problem I reported when I started using Squeak...

Yes, rather annoying but too easy to workaround (type slowly) rather than
investigate the evil :-)

My solution certainly works with Polymorph loaded, not sure if the deferred
bit can be dispensed with in a plain Squeak though (might rely on themore
primitive keyboard focus reinstatement).

Regards, Gary.
