[squeakland] Etoys scripting broken on Mac OS X Leopard: drag and
drop into script holder script?

Since a few months I can not create tile scripts in Etoys anymore. I
can drag a tile from a viewer and drop it anywhere and a new script
holder appears around my dropped tile. But when I drag a second tile
(script phrase) from the viewer and hover over the script holder no
insertion point appears.
When I drop the tile on top of the script holder it does not get
embedded but becomes a seperate tile on the background/desktop.
No attempt to put it into the script holder works,
When I use the halo I can see that the script holder does excepts
drops.The second tile could also gets no new script holder around it,
no mater where I drop it,
I tried it on the Squeakland (browser plugin) (version 3.0), I
downloaded the XO image and also tried it on a regular squeak 3.9
image but nowhere do I get it to work.
I use Mac OS X Leopard on a fast G5 Quad so maybe therein lies the
problem?
It took me a few months to post this because I thought it had
something to do with my Universel Access settings on Leopard that was
interfering with drag and drop elsewhere in Mac OS X like the finder.
But no, I have reinstalled a clean Leopard and the problem still exists.
This effectively makes Etoys (and Kedama) unusable so I think it
should be resolved.
Where to look for a solution?
Has anybody heard about this problem before?
