List of known errors, with bug report numbers in the Squeakland bug tracker at http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ.
make a thread of projects in this book- this option takes all projects you have put in the book, puts them in a thread and adds a project navigator to the project. This allows you to navigate easily through all these projects. But this option has a bug in Etoys 4.0. You will only get the navigator for the projects from your book, and the book project itself is not included. You will not be able to return to your book project using the navigator or the arrows in the toolbar. The only way back is to click ALT-SHIFT-W, choose "Jump to project" and then choose your book project.
BUG: - if you set to shared by all projects and then switch to another project and back using Previous Project/Next Project (or project icons), a second instance of the flap is created.
Camera
(Can someone describe how to make camera work with a Mac or PC, or in non-XO Linux?) In particular, how does one connect with either an internal or external camera? Ubuntu Linux, for example, has a Cheese Webcam Booth application that automatically comes up showing the camera feed on properly configured computers that have a camera set up as /dev/video0 or something similar. Etoys does not connect automagically, nor is there a way visible to choose a device and driver. Also, the only object in Squeak with "camera" in its name is ZASMCameraMarkMorph, which is related to other Zoom And Scroll Morph objects. It has no methods for connecting to a system device.
NEEDS TESTING: There are some bugs here (was not able to consistently reproduce and I am tired, but definitely this needs more testing. I got some "Abandon" booms a few times.
Hold mouse down within me and then move it to grow (if I'm red) or shrink (if I'm blue).
This does not happen.
I do not know enough to debug the startdrag: method which is supposed to control growth and shrinkage.
Bug: This object is supposed to have a Viewer category called movie controls, but selecting it causes a system error (MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>totalFrames), and does not display the tiles in the category, although the Viewer does display the category name.
Place two items in a playfield of 200 x 200, then place both objects at the bottom left of the playfield, then check "resize to fit" it only adjusts the height. More specifically it only moves up the bottom edge to the lowest objest in the playfield. It does NOT adjust the width.
Bug: Text Chat appears with its scroll bars misplaced. Clicking the scroll bars causes them to move to where they belong.
Bugs: Scroll bars appear in incorrect position, but position themselves correctly when clicked. The menu buttons at the tops of the scroll bars do nothing when clicked.
Bug: There is no evident way to save and reload files. The Save button accepts a file name, but gives no indication where the file is stored. Right-clicking on the Graph twice to get its Halo gives access to its menu, which includes the read file function. Unfortunately, this does not give access to a file dialog, but requires the user to type the full name of the file. Given the name of a file saved with the Save button, it fails to find that file.
function on the world menu in Squeak.
Bug: The alphabetical lists of morphs are too long for the Etoys window, and do not scroll. The complete list is available by executing

SQ-102, Etoys text alignment doesn't work correctly with Pango
SQ-158 Copying non-ascii text out of etoys does not work
The clipboard always used to show a line of empty boxes when text was copied from a source outside Etoys, even from ASCII. Fixed in Etoys 5.0 for ASCII and Latin-1 (8859-1), not for Japanese or Cyrillic, which show as question marks in clipboard (an improvement over empty boxes). Still cannot paste Japanese or Cyrillic into a workspace. I have filed a separate bug, SQ-1121, for a wide range of Unicode failings.SQ-1121 Unicode support lacking
