I tested the code but it does not help, because I resize the embedded
morph 
within the text. You can test by creating a TextMorph and turn on
accepts drops
and drop a morph on the text, then resize the dropped morph with the
yellow handle.
Seems like textmorph must be told to look at it's submorphs and whether
any of them 
has changed.
