[comp.sys.mac] Chooser bug?

harrow@exodus.dec.com (Jeff Harrow, NCSE BXB1-2/E02 DTN=293-5128) (05/22/87)

In using the new Chooser DA, I'm finding something a bit different than
I used to see:

It USED to be that if a particular print driver was chosen, the NEXT
time that I brought up Chooser the currently choosen driver would be
highlighted.  

NOW, however, regardless of what driver had been previously choosen,
NO icon in Chooser comes up highlighted.

Is this normal for the rest of you, or is there "something funny going on..."?

Thanks,

The new chooser doesn't highlight the current printer driver because the 
chooser is also used to choose fileservers in appleshare. Thus highlighting
a particular icon isn't nessisarily appropriate when one of the icons is also
the appleshare icon.

Sixtus V, Pope from 1585 to 1590 authorized a printing of the Vulgate
Bible.  Taking no chances, the pope issued a papal bull automatically
excommunicating any printer who might make an alteration in the text.
This he ordered printed at the beginning of the Bible.  He personally
examined every sheet as it came off the press.  Yet the published
Vulgate Bible contained so many errors that corrected scraps had to be
printed and pasted over them in every copy.  The result provoked wry
comments on the rather patchy papal infallibility, and Pope Sixtus had
no recourse but to order the return and destruction of every copy.
