SpCollectionListModel now (unhelpfully) uses identityIndexOf: instead of indexOf:

[ericwinger]

Sometime recently a change occurred between stable versions of Pharo 12 ... SpCollectionListModel>>#indexOf:ifAbsent: changed from using indexOf:ifAbsent: to identityIndexOf:ifAbsent:.

I'm not sure prompted the change but it, at best, isn't helpful because a number of my tests broke when string identity equality was suddenly required. Simple selections like below broke because the strings weren't identical.

self variableListPresenter selections: #( 'format' ).

Finding the problem was daunting. It would be helpful if index lookup in collections was reverted to simple equality comparison.

Hi @ericwinger
Thank you for the report.
I faced the same problem. It has already been fixed in Pharo 13. I proposed a fix for Pharo 12: see #1681
It is waiting for integration @estebanlm
