Here's a fun way to kill a few braincells. I've been tearing much hair out for the last couple of days trying to work this one out; why do my morphs not go where they ought?
Consider a morph with a submorph AlignmentMorph (I know, you don't need to use AlignmentMorphs so much now) that in turn contains two morphs. Set the alignmenmorph's right to the main morphs right-10. Open it; what do you expect? I'd expect to find the pair of morphs lined up near the main morphs right side.
Nah. Don't be silly.
Try out this code - |m am| m := Morph new color: Color white; extent: 200@100. am := AlignmentMorph newRow hResizing: #shrinkWrap; vResizing: #shrinkWrap; listDirection: #leftToRight; color: Color transparent. am addMorph: (Morph new color: Color red; extent: 37@51). am addMorph: (Morph new color: Color blue; extent: 43@51). m addMorph: am. am right: m right -10. am top: m top +2. m openInWorld
Now change the listDirection: #leftToRight; to listDirection: #rightToLeft and see what happens. I think that is just plain wrong.
Better yet, add 'am right: m right -10.' after the openInWorld. Now it goes where you expect. So, what is changing things, why, is it a bug that can be fixed, what the hell?
