At least the drawing artifacts issue doesn't appear to be Halo specific.
I've been seeing it on occasion with other kinds of Morphs.  Today it
finally dawned on me what is going on: Morphs are drawing outside of
their bounds.  I think I have a reproducible scenario: in the Workspace
type ReparseAfterSourceEditing, select and right click->Smalltalk
Options->Method Source with it.  On my computer, the default window size
results in the title text being drawn well outside of the Morph so
there's no mistaking what's going on.  Drag the window around and notice
the artifacts.  I think Halos and other Morphs are doing the same thing
though less obviously.
