[comp.sys.mac] Switcher 5.1 crashes with new system?

chuq%plaid@Sun.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) (07/03/87)

I'm having a problem with Switcher 5.1 trying to use it with finder 5.4 and
system 4.0 (not the latest, but I haven't had time to upgrade again
recently). When I try to switch using the switcher arrows, I get a bomb
ID=10.  Is this known?  Is there a workaround?  Any suggestions on things to
look for?

I found the problem.  I had (for some strange reason) "Always convert
clipboard" turned on. turning it on fixes Switcher.  I haven't tried to
manually convert a clipboard yet (I've been at Westercon sounding
intelligent, or trying to) but it definitely has something to do with this
feature -- any ideas why?
