Surely the maximum practical size that is relevant is the Display width? Actually I guess it is really (Display width - morph left) but plain Display width would probably do.
Until you change the window or screen size.
Sure, but why is that an issue? IIRC Andreas made the point that one wouldn't want to resize these morphs all the time, which leads me to believe that they can be resized. Assuming that this is true, what would be wrong with resizing them on the rare occasions that the Display is resized? After all a pretty big redraw is done then anyway. I'm not particularly invested in any of this but it does seem like keeping the morph size realistic might be a help is reducing the excessive redrawing that is claimed to be part of the morphic performance drain. And that is something I'd really like to see improved.
