Actually, that was fixed in the tinlizzie version. You need a  
properly transforming canvas to make it work. RomeCanvas does this,  
which was made available last year.

There is not much development going on in basic Tweak at the moment.  
It's used in Croquet and Sophie, but the etoys developers' attention  
is at OLPC right now. Of course, it's up for everyone to take and  
improve.

We welcome fixes and improvements in the OLPC version. Like, most of  
the fixes posted by community members to the etoys at laptop.org list  
actually went into the image. From our perspective it would make a  
lot of sense to base a future squeakland version on the OLPC etoys  
image. This is why only minimal efforts go into the current  
squeakland version which is nicely stable.
