Hello Vince.  I think you may have not gotten any responses to your 
message about this problem for a couple of reasons:

1. It would be better if you would provide a more complete changeset 
showing your problem, and also strip out unrelated code.  For example, 
your included method didn't say which class it was in, and left out some 
probably important related methods for it to even run (such as a 
wantsDroppedMorph:event: method).  (I did eventually replicate your 
problem, though.)

and more importantly,

2. This problem looks kind of tricky. :-)  At least, I didn't figure it 
out after playing with it for 15 minutes.  (Maybe if I had unlimited 
free time... :-) )  The problem can't be narrowed down by stepping 
through the debugger, since that messes with the 
cursor/focus/something.  Perhaps it's a bit dangerous to bring up a 
confirm dialog in a low-level morphic method such as this, but then 
again, maybe it shouldn't be.

In any case, here's a quickie changeset which replicates your problem, 
if anyone else wants to try to figure it out.  (After filing it in, try 
to drop an EllipseMorph onto a MyMorph.)
