Hi. A current Etoys image prevents me from being able to move or activate halo of aPin ( of Connectors ) embedded in a aMorph when aPin is at least some portion outside the right side of bounding box of aMorph. To achieve
1-embed aPin in, for example, aRectangle 2-resize aRectangle so bounding box has some portion of aPin on outside ( right side )
Actually you can halo it only when your cursor is over the part of the pin that overlaps its owner.
Bert is right that it is a limitation and a bug. Just be aware that it is a general one affecting most sub morphs.
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
Thanks. Can you report that on our bug tracker?
I would like to use current Etoys within Squeak, what vm and image are recommended ?
Etoys is inseparable from Squeak. Use the Etoys image, and the latest VM. Do not use recent squeak.org releases, which are known to ship with broken Etoys.
You can access all Squeak tools from the Etoys image, they are just hidden to not distract novice users. Press alt+shift+w to access the full world menu. A simplified version of that menu pops up when you press the view-source key on an XO (or alt+, on another machine).
There is also a development image, see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys#For_Developers
User images are created from the developer image by setting some preferences and preloading content but are otherwise the same.
