[Cuis-dev] Change in HoverHelpMorph

[Hernan Wilkinson]

Hi Hilaire,
 the change set number 4922 changes the behavior of the HoverHelpMorph.
 I use it in LiveTyping to show the types of variables, returns, etc.
 Before that change set, the types were shown in a line, for example:
 < Morph # InnerListMorph | HandMorph | WidgetMorph >

 With the change, the width of the hover help is much smaller and it shows
something like this:
 < Morph # InnerListMorph
| HandMorph
| WidgetMorph >

 Why did you make that change? I do not understand why if the contents does
not includes a line feed you are limiting the width to 300... the strings
I'm using do not have a line feed. The code is bellow.

contents: aString
| width |
contents _ aString.
width _ (contents includes: Character lf)
ifTrue: [9999999] ifFalse: [300].
textComposition _ TextComposition new.
textComposition
setModel: (TextModel withText: contents asText);
extentForComposing: width at 9999999.
textComposition composeAll.
self morphExtent: textComposition usedExtent + 8

Thanks!
Hernan.
