Description Jonathan Keller 2000-11-17 00:21:08 UTC 
Observed in NB 3.1 beta-7

(This wasn't an issue until the recent change to allow editing of classes
without opening the form editor.)

Open a class with a .form file using the edit command to open only the source
file.
Expand the explorer nodes to view the methods within that class.
Double-click on a method, and the form editor opens.

I was using the method list to jump around a large source file, but did not
want to cause changes to the .form file.  I don't know how hard it would be to
have the open command on sub-nodes of a file detect how the file was opened
originally.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2000-11-20 16:22:59 UTC 
I think this is a matter to be resolved by the form module, though I could be
wrong.

verified in [main-trunk](90) and [release31](29)

still not fixed in version FFJ20
