I did some bug hunting on the ScriptEditorMorph redraw bug and it is 
really hard to track down, at least for me :-)
It seems the bug is related to a bug in Squeak3.9 when SystemBrowsers 
causes extensive redrawing when the comment pane pops up and hides. 
I have looked at Morph>>privateAddMorph:atIndex: and a few layout 
related methods but have not found the cause yet.
