TODO:
The user should always see the libbasic package in the package view. If the window is small only monticello is displayed.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
This is because selected class (
SequencableCollectionin this case) has methods in all four packages. The reason is the following: when you're in category view you see all methods (of the given class) in all packages. Now when you switch to package view, you have to select all those packages in order to keep the list of the methods same (i.e., with same contents).If you'd select only the package of currently selected methods, methods from other package would disapper, which would be confusing too. I'd argue current behavior is better (meaning "less confusing").
