Okey, I hadn't read your question carefully :)

Looking at TextModel>>sourceTextArea, it returns the widget of the model, meaning the adapter to��PluggableTextMorph. The adapter (and the Morph behind) is instantiated during the building (called in openWithSpec) of the model, not its initialization.

In short, when you call��RewriteTool new, you have a fully initialized description of the GUI, but you don't have the GUI.

If you put the halt after
`self instantiateModels: #(#templateText #MyTextModel).`
can you confirm that templateText is not nil?

Which ones? :)
Maybe they deserve to be pushed into TextModel
