The procedure I described to test the fix still works for me. BUT if I
shrink the window in addition and click on the link
http://www.squeak.org, that is then only partially seen, memory usage
goes straight through the roof as you described it. 

The reason for the lockup lies in Utilities
class>>awaitMouseUpIn:whileMouseDownDo:whileMouseDownInsideDo:ifSucceed:
at the line

	darkForm _ lightForm deepCopy reverse.

Because of wrong box calculations the form has dimensions (54 at 326
corner: 10000029 at 340). 
The wrong box calculation seems to be caused by a method in TextLine

rightMargin
	"This has to get fixed -- store during composition"
	^ self right

This is as close as I can get to the root of the problem (in reasonable
time :). Maybe someone who is more at home in this area could find an
appropriate fix?

Betreff: [FIX] LinkHighlightClipFix-nk 



This is already approved, but I have a side comment:  If I try to follow
Alexander's steps below in a fresh 5878 image (regardless of whether
Ned's fix is loaded) on Mac OS X, I get a hopelessly locked up image. 
Well, more accurately, the Squeak VM memory usage starts ballooning and
I can't seem to cmd-. out of it.  (After pressing cmd-. for a while, a
pre-debug window may come up, but memory keeps going up and the Squeak
UI is still mostly unresponsive.)  Probably an infinite loop in the
window display code or similar.

code looks good and passes this test:

Get the halos of the TextMorphForEditView inside 'Welcome to...'  window
up. In the menu unmark 'text wrap to bounds'. Now click on the link
'http://minnow.cc ...' that gets "cut off" at the right border. With
this fix only the visible part of the link will be highlighted.
