	Yes point D erase the error but the method after it is moved to new *... protocol.   ( really strange )

The method is defined in the *... protocol and i can't do anything... No remove ....  | No new method compile  | No *... protocol remove....

I don't remember when and as i compile the method in *.. protocol

Yes, it's same of the B case.

What do you mean with method source ?

In the case C)  If i select the 	isNotNil 	 remove menu option  the system answer:

a MessageNotUnderstood occurred (error 2010), a UndefinedObject does not understand  #'inClass'
--------------------
1. MessageNotUnderstood>>defaultAction @2 line 3
2. MessageNotUnderstood(AbstractException)>>_signalWith: @5 line 25
3. MessageNotUnderstood(AbstractException)>>signal @2 line 47
4. UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: @9 line 10
5. UndefinedObject(Object)>>_doesNotUnderstand:args:envId:reason: @7 line 12
6. TDMethodDefinition>>methodCategory @5 line 6

8. TDClassicClassSelectorListElementBuilder>>cutObjectMenuAction:selectionIndex: @9 line 6
9. TDClassicClassSelectorListElementBuilder(TDWindowBuilder)>>handleMenuActions:listElement:actionArg: @12 line 10
10. [] in TDClassicClassSelectorListElementBuilder(TDClientListElementBuilder)>>menuActionBlock @2 line 7
11. TDClassicClassSelectorListElementBuilder(ExecBlock)>>value:value:value: @2 line 11
12. GsNMethod class>>_gsReturnToC @1 line 1


The source of methodCategory is:

methodCategory
 methodCategory
   ifNil: [
     | method category |
     method := self method.
     methodCategory := method inClass categoryOfSelector: self selector.
     methodCategory ifNil: [ category := ClassOrganizer default ] ].
 ^ methodCategory

At line 6 the method variable  is nil.

Thanks,

	Dario
