Looks like I'm "it" now (since I'm "the one"), so let's review the 
history of this issue:

You originally filed a change to FormCanvas (which lives in 
Morphic-Support) under the category Balloon3D. Since FormCanvas doesn't 
live in Graphics-* (which is what makes this a "Graphics" issue) I filed 
it in the category I felt was correct for it. I should add that I often 
recategorize issues that are more broadly meant as "Graphics issue" 
(like issues related to fonts, m17n and others). Since I effectively 
"own" that category on Mantis I prefer to interpret it with the smallest 
possible scope to keep the amount of work reasonable.

I do feel completely justified to reclassify an issue affecting 
FormCanvas from Balloon3D to Morphic. If you feel that was inappropriate 
I'm curious to hear your reasoning.

 From there, things get a little more difficult. A couple of days later, 
you filed another, logically related (but structurally independent) 
change to BalloonEngine which I actually looked at but didn't like at 
all (you may not have realized that the implication of this change is 
that each and every use of BalloonEngine comes with a 256k memory 
allocation - even if you draw a 1x1px form) so I decided to postpone 
this until the time I could sit down and work out a better fix. And this 
is where that part got lost: Since it was filed under Morphic it simply 
fell under my radar screen and never came up again (it's hard enough to 
keep track of the issues that are filed in the categories that you 
actually monitor).

I can't speak for whether someone cares about the Morphic bits but if an 
issue gets filed in a category that I don't monitor it's a very good way 
to make sure I won't ever look at it.
