Squeak trunk, please give it a try and let me know it it works for you.<br>
Note that this is rather old code with platform dependencies, so I really<br>
cannot say if it is going to work.<br>

The underlying problem was that the editor hierarchy had been refactored<br>
for Morphic a few years ago, and this particular feature was overlooked.<br>
I added the missing implementation.<br>
