The black halo does a bit more than change ownership hierarchy. It is also useful for bringing a morph to the front while leaving its ownership exactly the same.

I see the black halo's purpose as for changing Morph ownership hierarchy, not moving or positioning. Brown halo is for moving.

Well, that was the primary _effect_ I want -- not a side-effect.
Sorry but that is not acceptable. For fine-tuning of the morph position, the halo must be stable: just grabing the handle should not move the morph.
Think of it this way: you grab the morph via the halo handle, then decide that eventually you do not want to move it: esay, you just release the handle and that'is it. But if the morph has been moved immediately, how do you get back to the initial position ?
Also, a morph may have a specific behavior depending on its precise position, and it is then crucial to be able to change the position continuously.
As far as I am concerned, this change would completely break my code. I am strongly opposed to it.
Best,
