more... parameters for design time methods.
 

when you right click an object and run one of its methods at design time, you cannot use more... parameters. THIS LEADS TO AN INABILITY TO SCALE SHAPES ALONG A SPECIFIC AXIS AT DESIGN TIME! THIS ALSO MEANS THAT MUCH OTHER FUNCTIONALITY IS LOST! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!

Yeah, that's a source of irritation to all experienced Alice workers. I always just put the scaling method at the start of the world and set its duration to zero seconds.

The Jython console is live. I'll try to work with it for a solution.
