[Etoys] EllipseMorph and sibling instance

[polishookm]

To answer my own question, I think what I'm observing is noted below. If 
someone could comment that what I'm describing is how things work, that 
would be great.

1. I make an EllipseMorph
2. I open a viewer on the EllipseMorph and make a script. The script 
belongs to a Player and the Player wears the EllipseMorph
3. I bring up a halo on the EllipseMorph and click on the green 
Duplicate icon.
4. Now I have 2 Players, each of which wears an EllipseMorph
5. Opening an AllScriptsTool provides for start/stop/stop control over 
both Players

6. I make a RectangleMorph
7. I open a viewer on the RectangleMorph and make a script. The script 
belongs to a Player and the Player wears the EllipseMorph
8. I bring up a halo on the RectangleMorph and shift-click on the green 
Duplicate icon.
9. Now I have 1 Player that's wearing (controlling) 2 RectangleMorphs.
10. Opening an AllScriptsTool provides for start/stop/stop control over 
the Player that wears the 2 RectangleMorphs

I'm noticing that if AllScripts tool is on screen while EllipseMorphs or 
RectangleMorphs are being duplicated, it won't then immediately pick up 
on the fact that new Players exist. A new Player has to be run once and 
then the AllScriptsTool knows it's there.

Unrelated: The goldBoxIconSize-sw change, as noted in the change sorter, 
produces  larger but fuzzy looking icons in the Gold Menu.

Thanks in advance for all explanation and help ....
