Comment #2 on issue 1011 by usman.bh...@gmail.com: Rubric presentation does not display text attribtues http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=1011
I had a detailed look. For me, the implementation logic in glamour is correct but the problem comes from how input text attributes are interpreted inside Rubric. RubricScrolledMorph has a textArea (RubAbstractTextArea) and this textArea has an editor (RubTextEditor). The editor has two modes, RubPlainTextMode and RubSmalltalkCodeMode. Now, somehow Rubric correctly shows the attributes of the text in SmalltalkCode, which shows Pharo code highlighted with a decorator (ShoutStyler). But it applies default text color of the textArea in the plain mode. I had to stop drilling at this point because 1/ debugging morphs is not easy with announcements and redrawing, 2/Rubric is big.
It will be good that in the plain text mode, it shows the user provided text its attributes/highlighting. My guess is there is something to do with the decorators. Alain will have a look.
We can keep this issue opened here on the moose list because AFAIK Rubric is primarily used in Glamour.
