Croquet questions and problems

Thanks to all of John McIntosh's hard work, I am running Croquet on my
PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.2. I have a few questions and bug reports that
John suggested I address to this group.
* First, my brain has exploded with joy and surprise. Does anyone want to
help me get it back into my head?
* My first time in Croquet World, I beame trapped. I walked up to the first
window I saw, the "Shared Spaces" project. I clicked on the down arrow to
zoom the project out. Now I can't get back. I've tried using "previous
project" in the world menu of the Shared Spaces project but it does not
do anything.
I've read the PDF document, but can't find any other suggestion than to
use "previous project".
* There is a black triangle sticking out of the lower right side of my full
Squeak screen. Someone has already mentioned that this is my avatar's
flipper or nose. This is disconcerting reasons. WHen I look in the
mirror, if I remember correctly I am centered instead of offset from the
head.
* Whenever I click anywhere not on a portal, I see a popup menu of the
names of the portals. Is that intentional?
* When I enter the Mars world, I can't click on anything because I see the
same popup menu (portal names from my original "world").
* I'm in the underwater world. When I click on the shark, I get a walkbalk
saying "MessageNot Understood: materialAlpha:"
TMesh(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
TMesh(TFRame)>>doesNotUnderstand:
TSpinner>>pointerDown:
TPointer>>pointerDown:
...
In TSpiner>>pointerDown: the offending line of code is
matDown ifNotNil: [
contents material: matDown.
contents materialAlpha: nil ]. " <=== that one"
* After closing the debugger window in the underwater world (see previous
item), the original workspace with the "TeapotMorph startFullScreen"
appears on top of the Croquet world (with red text and title, oddly). I
tried "send to back" on that window but nothing happens.
