I don't recall anyone touching on this, but I have been experiencing what is best called "HyperCard" weirdness. I'll list the system configurations under which I have noticed this, and then some of the symptoms. Mac II, 8 megs, plenty of hard drive space System 6.07 and 7.0b4 (it happens under both) Symptoms: Fields sometimes update the position of text within them (noticeable by changing wraparounds) when the are selected and deselected but when the size of the field has not changed. Also, with the field tool chosen, when I try to opt-cmd click on a field to bring up its script, I get the script of an invisible field instead. Only under 7.0b4, it hangs once in awhile; I am more ready to attribute that to the system software, which should be fixed in official release. Anyone have any ideas about these, or maybe can explain why they occur so they don't surprise me like they do? Richard B. Hutchings Dept of Info and Comp Sci, UC Irvine
