It is a difference between Workspace and GTPlayground.
In GTPlayground, ActiveEvent is nil, so it doesn't work.
In Workspace it works.

launchMiniEditor: evt

        | textMorph |
        hasFocus := true.  "Really only means edit in progress for this morph"
        textMorph := StringMorphEditor new contentsAsIs: contents.
        textMorph beAllFont: self fontToUse.
        textMorph bounds: (self bounds expandBy: 0@2).
        self addMorphFront: textMorph.
        evt hand newKeyboardFocus: textMorph.
        textMorph editor selectFrom: 1 to: textMorph paragraph text string size

replace evt hand by ActiveHand to make it work in GTPlayground.
