[squeakland] Found Bug But Not Sure How to Proceed To Fix

Hi, it only appears when scaling a morph.  Here is example...it is my
belief (how does one step through code with debugger if there's no bug
happening?);

Whatever code is common that scales morphs is being offset incorrectly. The
first image shows the 'garbage' left behind by playfield indicator if that
option is set.  It seems it was only tested in 'holders' and thus likely
not picked up during 'intended' use.

Next, two pictures show scaling as where the misalignment starts.  This
might be why you could not recreate bug; resizing rectangle changes
rectangle morph extent, whereas scaling is a differnet piece of code and
therefore different outcome.

Image included.  This works with *anything* scaled.
