Thanks for verifying. I tried it again and find out what happened. 

- I blue-clicked on the 'o' of 'hello world'
- I grabbed the 'o' at the black pickup halo.
- I dragged it out onto the WorldMorph and released the mouse button.

- I picked it up again to put it back at the original spot.
- I dropped the 'o' when the shape of the 'o' was more or less precisely
  at the spot where it should be and released it.
--> The 'o' was there but did not snap in.

Correct way:
- The point of the mouse cursor (i.e. the black halo) is crucial in 
  deciding where the TextMorph is dropped. I was assuming that it
  is the center of the TextMorph, in this case of the 'o', which counts.
  If I point with the arrow of the mouse cursor at the target spot and
  then release the mouse button the TextMorph snaps in correctly and
  the other morphs reshuffle.


This expericence motivates me to further explore the possibilites of
composite morphs in using Squeak as a presentation system (let's even
call it an 'authoring system' for presentations)

P.S. May I ask you not to use the accent aigu in your 'from field'.
Unfortunately your name shows up as something like

Within the body text it should not be necessary.
