Follow-up Comment #5, bug #17802 (project gnustep):

Thanks very much.  The alphabetical ordering of the items is great for
finding them via browser or outline view, and seems to be working perfectly.

But ... (sorry to gripe) ... there are some issues with the search facility
and the menu to perform class operations.

1. The search textfield and menu are in the wrong view, so they appear all
the time (ie if the panel is showing 'Objects', or 'Images' or 'Sounds'  or
'File' information, not just when it is displayin 'Classes'.  I think that
looks a bit wierd and probably confusng for some people.

2. The default item in the pulldown menu should probably be one which doesn't
do anything, so that if you click on the menu and change your mind, you don't
end up creating a subclass you then need to delete.  NeXTstep used
'Operations' for this.

3. I think the search is case sensistive ... perhaps it would be better if it
wasn't.

4. it might also be even better if the search handled incomplete matches, so
typing 'nsm' would jump to  NSMenu.

5. Getting really, really picky now ... could the right hand end of the menu
line up with the right hand side of ther outline/borowser view, and could the
menu width stay constant when the panel is resized, so only the search
textfield grows/shrinks?

Thanks for all the work you have done on this.
