Bug: 37055

Impact:

Product:
GemBuilder for Smalltalk

Versions:
7.3, 7.2.2, 7.2.1, 7.2, 7.1.2, 7.1.1, 7.1, 7.0.2

Platform:
VW 7.x

Fixed In:

Obscure inspector errors on printString failure

If you inspect an object with the GemStone-enhanced Trippy
inspectors in VisualWorks 7.x, objects in element lists on the
left-pane of the browser will be sent the message #printString.
If that object, or a child of that object gets an error during
the execution of printString, or does not understand #printString,
the inspector will give that error which may be difficult to debug.

Workaround:

Use shift-inspect to open an old inspector on the object.
