Hello and a question bout TextFieldMorph

Hello Everyone,

My name is Javier Reyes and I have just subscribed to this mailing list. I live and work in Madrid, Spain.

I am developing an pplication for a Magazine using Squeak. For a small text box (which describes the contents of a page in the magazine) I use a TextFieldMorph. Once initialized the Morph appears with an 'abc' text in the upper left corner. That's fine for me. My problem comes when i delete the last character of the TextMorph. At that moment the Morph changes its color to the default light gray but the text that's written after that doesnt appear in the top left corner anymore but one line below.
If I press Alt-0 the text goes back to the corner, but I want that behaviour to be default. This "reset" doesnt happen either if I select the "abc" and write some replacement text, only when the TextFieldMorph is emptied.

Any help will be very welcome. Thanks in advance.

All the best,
-Javier
