I am not sure how active Mantis is. For now, sending it here is probably
a good idea.

My guess is that the morph gets resized but the associated bitmap
remains the same.

On Saturday this bit me as I tried to draw stuff during a Skype meeting.
I was using Squeak 4.2 All-in-one on a Mac.

The solution would be to create a new, larger bitmap to match the new
morph size and then copy the image from the old bitmap (you don't want
the current drawing to vanish). If the morph becomes smaller than the
bitmap, I would leave it alone so that the now unseen parts will
reappear if the morph is grown again. In that case it might be
interesting to truncate the bitmap to the current morph size when the
"keep" button is pressed.
