[squeak-dev] Transcript broken in etoys-dev-2.3?

Simon Guest-2
Hi,

Using a freshly downloaded Etoys-dev-2.3 image, I open a workspace and
type:
Transcript nextPutAll: 'hello world'; cr.

Nothing appears in the transcript window, either the existing one, or
any I open as well.  The text is visible if I inspect the transcript
window morph, and look at the underlying model.  But it does not get
displayed in the window.

What's up?

cheers,
Simon

This is not specific to the etoys image.

You must send #endEntry after you wrote to the Transcript to update  
the Transcript window.

Most commonly you use #show: instead of #nextPutAll: which sends  
#endEntry automatically.

Hi Bert,

Thanks for that.  (Thinks to self, "doh!").

cheers,
