Wow, I don't know why most of the text is missing from the previous mail, but 
anyway here is it again:

After I loaded all recent updates for 3.7alpha and my 
HilightCurrentFontChoices changeset, I got an infinite loop when setting the 
flap font. At first I thought I broke something with the 'enhancement', but 
it happened also without it. Strangely enough everything worked in another 
image without the recent updates. So I looked into the updates to see if 
something strange has happened meanwhile. I couldn't find a thing. Then I 
tried to find the reason for the infinite loop. I think Morph>extent: is 
causing the loop in some cases where a FlapTab Morph boundary contains 
floats. In these cases the expression 'bounds extent = aPoint' will evaluate 
to false because of rounding errors. The layoutChanged method of FlapTab 
sends an extent: message again and because of the failing condition it runs 
in an infinite loop.
The attached changeset prevents this by rounding boundary values, although I 
don't know if it is the best way to do it. Maybe it would be better to make a 
special extent: method in FlapTab or to deal with this in a completely 
different way...

I think this phenomenon is the same that Jim Benson reported almost a
year ago ([BUG] setFlapsFontTo: 32 bit display (9 April 2003), but he
suspected a different cause.

extent: aPoint
        bounds extent = aPoint ifTrue: [^ self].
        self changed.
        bounds _ bounds topLeft extent: aPoint.
        self layoutChanged.
        self changed.
