Nicolas thanks! super you have even a few minutes.

Even though Squeak has the problem, it is subtly different.  I will
post my little scaffolding class maybe the end of this week which just
helps to slowly step a debugger through. And do this in different
images.

What would be great, on a wiki page perhaps, is the list of important
classes that are involved in debugging. Then it makes it easier to
track changes (Debugger, InstructionStream and so on). It is also
somewhat educational, for me at least.

The other thing, which is more tricky, is to know what are the
highlights we want?  In VW i take it for granted it is correct, and
possibly in old Squeak images too.  Can we document this? Perhaps a
start could be png files of "correct" highlights? Then we can build a
test framework that asserts these intervals we can work out (1 to: 3)
(34 to: 45) etc for given simulations of #send and #doStep.  Any
thoughts on that appreciated. Perhaps this is not needed when we
finally figure out what is wrong.

Also as mentioned in the original bug list, there are other bugs with
the debugger not just highlighting. Just wanted to say I wasn't
ignoring those... ;-)

cheers,
Mike
