I keep thinking that inner worlds have outstayed their welcome now that multiple projects projects can be on-screen at once. I'd like to hear from folks who actually use inner worlds for something.
Cheers, Bob

In 2.9a-3278, if you open a Morphic inner world window from within a Morphic project, the title bar is messed up in such a way that the window can't be closed. (It is collapsable, though.)
Worse, if you activate the inner world window by clicking in it, the outer world doesn't seem to work anymore (mouse-clicks don't do anything). If you open a browser within the inner world, then mouse-clicks stop working everywhere. (This problem doesn't happen in a 2774 image, but does happen in a 2915 image, so it's been around a little while.)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by multiple projects being on-screen at once... I may have missed something. Do you just mean the little project windows which come up after you do a "open/morphic project"? You can't really interact with these unless you enter them, though.
I have to admit that I don't see Morphic inner worlds as being all that useful within a Morphic project... I never use them. (I just happened to open one by accident and noticed the bug.) Morphic inner worlds are very useful from within an MVC project, though, if you want to be able to edit Preferences, use Scamper, etc.
(By the way, I was trying to remember how to get to the SuperSwiki to look for some projects to open, and I used the FIND button on the project navigation bar. It brought up the "Load A Project" window, which lists the SuperSwiki, but when I tried to expand the SuperSwiki, a debugger opened with "Fully qualified path expected" in DosFileDirectory>>setPathName:, where pathName = 'Bobs SuperSwiki'. This is on Win2000.)
