More miscellaneous bugs I've found in recent software: When single-stepping in macsbug 5.5 using the T (trace) instruction, I inadvertently stepped onto a _Debugger trap. Formerly, you could step along quite some distance this way before macsbug became confused. With luck, you could notice your mistake before then and make a safe exit. Now, you get an instant bomb with ID 12. That's not nice. Using Finder 6.0 with the Moire CDEV installed, I dragged the entire contents of my hard disk onto another hard disk (quick and dirty test of a new driver on the second disk). The copy took a while, so Moire invaded the screen while it was in progress. I moved the mouse to get the screen back while the copy was still going on. The Finder windows (frames only) were redrawn immediately; not their contents. When the copy finished, the contents of the windows were redrawn, but not anything that was on the desktop. That is, the disk and trash icons were all missing. This does *not* happen if Moire comes on and goes off while the Finder is idle; only if the Finder is busy copying files. Is this a Finder bug (I think so) or a Moire bug? Ephraim Vishniac ephraim@think.com Thinking Machines Corporation / 245 First Street / Cambridge, MA 02142-1214
