StringMorph removing Text styling

Hi,

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but converting Text to StringMorph clears some of the formating.

Compare:

|text|

text := 'hello' asText makeAllColor: Color red.

text asStringMorph openInWindow. "no color"

(StringMorph contents: text) openInWindow. "with color"

Bug? Feature?

Thanks,

Peter

Personally I would expect that the second version should be fixed to discard formatting. We have the TextMorph for such cases.

Re: StringMorph removing Text styling

There's a cursor issue though... when you have TextMorphs in e.g. list (FastTable), then the cursor changes to text selection, that's why I wanted to use StringMorph.

So maybe renaming (subclassing?) StringMorph to LabelMorph to make it more clear?

Never mind. This apparently exists and I am blind...
