The problem I had was: when a disk was inserted (not WB) and an icon was let
go of when the funny zz cloud appears, a sicky icon would result. I tried
your suggestion by reinserting another disk. Sure enough, the sticky icon
disappeared, but upon the slightest movement of the mouse, it would reappear.
Of course, simply cliking the left mouse button returns the icon back home,
avoiding any trouble, but fooling around with sticky icons on my system has
proven to be fatal.
I can not say though that I have had the problem of double cliking an icon
and then having the problem you mentioned above. (proud owner of A500 :-)
Is there a fix? I hope 1.3 does not inherit it.
