[comp.sys.mac.programmer] SuperBoomerang and System 7.0

Is Hiro Yamamoto still hanging out on the Internet?  If so, I'd like to
let him know about a cosmetic problem with SuperBoomerang 2.0.3 and
System 7.0bx/7.0Fx.

When using Boomerang with any System 7.0 so far released, the folder
pop-up menu in the SFDialog is improperly located. (Not Boomerangs menu,
but the actualy folder shown by the standard SFDialog). The image of the
pop-up will be shown 20 or 30 pixels higher than it should be.
Clicking on this image shows it to be inoperable--it's just a picture.
However, if you click where the pop-up SHOULD be, it appears and
functions properly!

There is also some odd repainting of the pop-up; if you open to a folder
with a long name, and then to one with a short name, the shorter name
simply lays on top of the longer name's 'drop shadow'.  And the painting
occurs on the 'phantom' pop-up, just above where it should be.

I suspect Hiro might be aware of these problems already, but just in
case he's not....

BTW, SuperBoomerang works PERFECTLY under System 7.0; this cosmetic
problem does not affect it's functionality.
