Hi Tim, hi Lauren --

Fixed/improved via Morphic-mt.1976.

The "move" handle goes a different path compared to that blue/meta click-drag:

HaloMorph >> #addDragHandle:
HaloMorph >> #addHandleAt:color:icon:on:send:to:
--> "handle on: #mouseUp send: #endInteraction: to: self."

MorphicHaloDispatcher >> #invokeHaloOrMove:on:
HaloMorph >> #startDragTarget:
HaloMorph >> #mouseUp:

So, the handle-interaction begins in the handle itself, which then delegates #endInteraction: to its owner (i.e., the halo). That meta/blue click-drag interaction origins in an event filter on PasteUpMorph (i.e., the Morphic world), which is then passed on to a target (i.e., a morph) and a (new) halo instance. In the former, a handle is involved. In the latter, no handle is involved.

#endInteraction: is a nice abstraction/interface. Maybe we could re-use the code of the "move" handle from within the MorphicHaloDispatcher and not call #startDragTarget: on the halo but really do the stuff that that "move" handle does. Hmmm... :-) Works for now.

Best,
Marcel

Can reproduce in #21672.

Behaves identically to brown Move handle, except does not reposition
halo around bounding box. It seem repositioning happens when the halos
appear, but Alt-dragging leaves everything visible so that never happens.
