I'm aware of the default Morphic behavior. I've hacked it so that a transparent 1x1 pixel bit is in the hand and its movement causes the brown morph to move and remain a submorph of the AthensWrapMorph application.
Yes, this is some kind of weird clipping thing. Specifically, it looks like clipping is not happening. The brown morph (and the area behind it) renders correctly but it is not rendered at the correct location. Instead, the starting location of the rendering seems to be forced into the bounds of the surface. That's why it looks like the background things have shifted downwards.
