It sounds like you're talking about /RAM5 and you've set the Minimum and
Maximum RAMdisk sizes to different values using the Control Panel CDA.
Set them to the same size & your problem will go away.  (The Control Panel
NDA doesn't let you set min/max to different values, and neither does the
Control Panel CDA in ROM 3 machines, just introduced.)

The titles in the Info Bar didn't scroll before, which was weird (if you
scrolled the window, the content no longer lined up with the column
headings).  For whatever it's worth, the new behavior is consistent with
the Macintosh Finder, which also doesn't let you scroll view-by-non-Icon
windows horizontally.
