This changeset proposes an additional property for PluggableTextMorph/PluggableTextSpec, named #forceString. If it is activated, any formattings will be erased from the text morph instantly.
This can be useful for widgets that are not actually designed to accept texts and thus display a heap of unwanted formattings. An example is the SearchBar, which at least in my image too often looks totally misstyled after several copy'n'paste operations:
[cid:4dc50742-4fb0-49c7-8e91-e28c30faaff0]
(Or should maybe use a text styler there, instead?)
Another, probably better example is FillInTheBlankMorph. As it only returns a string, there is no need to display styled texts.
How would you think about it? Please let me know. :-)
Best,
Christoph
