Description
If you:
- Select a window morph (cmd+click),
- Open the alt+x menu,
- Resize to full (lively.ide.resizeWindow.full),
Then: The bounds (red rectangle) stays the same, while the morph is actually resized.
And: While the morph halos are still shown, the focus changes. (In case of the browser, it changes to the input element, such that pressing alt+x again has no effect other than entering a special character into the main text field.)
Solution: Hide/remove the halo display, to force user selection, or reselect the window morph and update the halo display.
P.S.: The same problems seems to exist for all other ide.resizeWindow instructions.
Using: Chrome 41.0 on MacOS, lively 79b595b within docker.

Research direction
Start at the lively.ide.resizeWindow.full command and compare its behavior with the other ide.resizeWindow instructions. Reproduce the cmd+click and alt+x flow in Chrome, then verify that resizing updates the morph bounds and preserves or re-establishes the window selection and halo focus.
