Hi, In the latest Morphic version, the default styler of the PluggableTextMorph is given by: useDefaultStyler "This should be changed to a proper registry but as long as there is only shout this will do" Smalltalk globals at: #SHTextStylerST80 ifPresent: [ :stylerClass | self styler: (stylerClass new view: self) ] ifAbsent: [ self styler: ( NullTextStyler new view: self) ] Thus, if Shout is loaded, you will get it in all text morphs by default. Given that TextMorph should be general and be used in all sorts of contexts, the default behavior should be the original: useDefaultStyler "This should be changed to a proper registry but as long as there is only shout this will do" self styler: (NullTextStyler new view: self; yourself). What do you say? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "We are all great at making mistakes."
