> TRAC ticket 4765 (Karl Ramberg, Nov 2007) TextMorph avoidOcclusion is badly broken. It renders the text invisible.
> attachment: TextContainer.kfr.3.cs (335 bytes) - added by karl Nov 2007 - suggested fix to TextContainer 
> (Karl) It seems TextContainer avoidsOcclutions is dependent font. I had to add two methods to TextContainer to make it work at all: TextContainer>>right and TextContainer>>withRight: If I change the font to anything but BitstreamVeraSans, avoidsOcclutions kind of works. With BitstreamVeraSans text becomes invisible.
> (Scott) Worked around in etoys3.0 update 2036occlusionsProb-sw, whose preamble reads:
> In view of the various ways that the the avoid-occlusions feature seems now to be broken (probably for many years), the most prudent thing to do would seem to be to remove the ability to turn this feature on from the UI. So that is what this update does.
> In some future release, someone may wish to revisit this issue: re-enable the menu item, reproduce the issues, fix them... But for now, we cut the Gordian knot..
> (Karl) I think there is a issue with text container not being initialized when a text is pulled out to the world. All efforts to use avoidOcclusion will then fail. When you change font, text container will be initialized and thus the avoidOcclusion work (at least some stuff happen to the text :-) ) The fix I added to this ticket help getting text container to work after being initialized.
