etoys - strange screen scaling and clipping

Description

Etoys on SoaS has strange problems of screen sizing and clipping.

For example, in Demos & Tutorials, the second tutorial many things are clipped, and some objects don't appear on screen.

This can be "fixed" by setting the scaling to "no scaling" but this prevents elements of the Sugar UI from displaying (such as the frame).

yes - there is as well a flickering when starting etoys. We need to check if this is Soas only - or happens in distro packages as well.

The "Demon castle" tutorial issue is valid. A work-around is to first choose "no scaling" and then "scale to fit" which uses the proper scale factor. I filed an upstream report:
http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-266

The flickering should be reduced in version 4.0.2213. This is the upstream bug:
http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-116

Thanks bert for following up. I guess #983 is handled by the http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-116 upstream bug as well?

No, the flickering is unrelated to the wrong scaling factor.

The "Demon castle" tutorial was made before the current scaling policy was in place. It simply needs to be updated (re-saved at the right resolution).

This is a Etoys issue that got accidentally assigned to SoaS during an auto-tag. Reassigning - sorry for the confusion.
