Kennedy) Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Comp & Info Sys Lines: 29 This bug is driving me crazy. In case you all don't know about it, let me describe what little I know. It seems that when you have several screens of different resolutions up at the same time, and flip between them, you can get strange errors, usually resulting in crashes, sometimes with some pretty spectacular fireworks. I think it happens when you have interlaced and non-interlaced screens at the same time, because sometimes the interlaced screen comes up non-interlaced, with the bottom half of the screen disappearing into your top desk drawer. I've seen this bug discussed here before, so I know it's not exactly news. What I want to know is can anyone describe a little more exactly the conditions to avoid? I'm afraid to run several applications that open custom screens at once, for fear of crashing due to this bug. Has anybody figured out a fix or a patch? I suppose it can't be fixed permanantly until 1.4, right? How about a patch like SetAlert? Something! Anything! [I've just spent the last hour preparing my data with Superbase, graphing it with MultiPlot, etc., etc.; in walks my professor to take a look at some of my results; "Here you go, look at these graphs...Look at that nice...red...blinking...box..."] Thanks, -- ------------ Eric Kennedy ejkst@cisunx.UUCP
