Currently, there is no visual separation on the title of a script between the object name and the script name.
Car script1
So, if someone wants to drag a script, he has to make sure to click "Car", because if he clicks on "script1", it edits the text. This is one of those small things which make Etoys that little hard to learn in the beginning (eventually you learn to allways use the objects name as the draggin spot, and that next to it is to edit the scripts name). I don't know what to suggest. Having a box around "Car" or "script1" might make it seem they are blocks of code. But maybe having "script1" inside a box _with_ a grey background, just like the Search text entry box in the Viewer window has. It could work, since it will resemble that other Text entry box.
Yes, this is certainly a flaw, which sonehow crept into the olpc version of etoys.
In all previous versions of etoys, such as Squeakland, the object name and the script name in a Scriptor's header are actually distinguished in no fewer than *three* ways: different type-style, space in-between, and a box around the object-name. I'm not sure why all three of these got eliminated, but we need to restore at least one of them, or equivalent.
I've reported this defect as ticked #3039 on the TRAC bug-tracking system.
Thank you!
