I have found something really wierd in the editor of Think C 4.0, and would like to know if it is replicable with other peoples machines, other programs, etc: - grab the thumb in an edit-window scrollbar - go to the sleep-now corner of your favorite init-installed screen saver, and wait for it to start up. - come back out. the editor does not update its windows (no surprise here) - drag the thumb outline (now floating in a blank window) to somewhere below the top of its range, and drop. If you experience what I did, the scrollbar is now semi-permanently shifted down to where you drop the thumb. Something is apparently munging the partcode for the drag. Any other ideas as to why this occurs, other applications where it occurs, etc? I thought this might be most appropriate here because it shows the problems that can occur when you try to do *everything* through the event loop, like you should, really. I don't see *how* this could happen, though. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Please insert :-) where appropriate for prevention of flames. Garth A.

As it turns out this actually works with any scrollbar; it appears to be a bug in the screensaver or an interaction with 6.0.7. This wasn't the right place to post this, either.
