David,

Here is Andrew's example reworked a bit to achieve what I think you are after:

	| outer aRow |
	outer _ RectangleMorph new extent: 400 at 100.
   	aRow := AlignmentMorph newRow color: Color lightGreen.
    	aRow
		addMorph: (TextMorph new width: 100; 
			contentsWrapped: 'hellothere'; lock);
		addMorphBack: (AlignmentMorph newSpacer: Color blue);
 	   	addMorphBack: (TextMorph new width: 100; 
			contentsWrapped: (12323 printString); rightFlush; lock).
	outer addMorph: aRow.
	outer openInWorld.

This works in Morphic and MVC, BTW.

I tried your original code (or, rather, Andrew's runnable version) and both fields were editable on my system (2.2). Sending #lock seems to have corrected that.

Sending #rightFlush to the second field gets it lined up as desired.

I set an explicit width for both text fields since the results would be data dependent otherwise.

Cheers,
Bob
