Okay, FixIntuition is a "fix" for a WindowToFront/Back bug. This bug shows up when you have a few screens (3 or more) of interlace/non-interlaced. Invariably, when you shift and move to these screens, when you entercounter an interlaced screen, it will turn to non-interlace, half up, and the machine locks. FixIntuition is a VERY dirty fix for this. It works great if you have hardly any processor-intensive tasks going, but if you do have PIT (Processor intensive tasks)'s going, bam, it'll screw up. I had this happen TODAY, just as I was showing a guy the Amiga. I would think that a message port type of fix would do the job. As in the patch included with MachII 2.6 that fixes yet another Amiga Intuition bug. It calls a message port every time it's needed and works perfectly. Could one of you awsome programmers make something that fixes this TERRIBLE bug? It's a bug that a few people might encounter, bug I would encounter it ALL the time if I didn't have FixIntuition, because I have many screens open. (I like to be boastful in my demoing and general mtasking use.) PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE!!! PLEASE! I would also like to report a bug that I think NOONE has found yet. If you take a DISK ICON, move it to the titlebar on your workbench screen, and while holding it there (by keeping the left mouse-button pressed) hit the left Alt-Amiga keys while hold the DISK ICON, and BAM, LOCKUP! Neat, eh? Maybe I should work for Commodore... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ = /// | Jim Perry | Arc@Desire.Wright.edu = = /// Amiga! | ^Communications Consultant| -or- = = \XX/ The One | Arc Electronics, Inc. | Arc@WSU.BITNET = = ____& Only... | Wright State University |"Ouch!

Recently I found a better fix for it which, unlike FixIntuition, takes absolutely NO CPU time and is totally reliable (at least it seems so to me). The problem is in MakeVPort of graphics.library. This patch SetFunctions itself into MakeVPort and does its thing when MakeVPort is called (when Intuition flips screens). Included in this message is the patch program with source code and docs. ---8<--- Cut here ---8<--- begin 644 mvp_patch.zoo M6D]/(#(N,#`@07)C:&EV92X:``#<I\3]*@```-;___\"``$J```````!W*?$X M_0(!*@$``($```">%"-N?5?$````J0````$```````````!-86ME5E!O<BYT8 M7U``&@!_F%(0`$UA:V564&]R=%]0871C:````,!!0````$`I(R@```$`&#!/7 MH$&!`0XJ%(A"X(!T!E&PP`.`P!!]``PY<>4/C0H@9@C`H>"D#H,V`$@`H,`&- M"!P4(G@8#+#QGPX4(!6(:++1GQ@X"DH&P>A"!).7&_M!JLEG)P@^_Z*B`,$`$ M"Z">7%!<=?7/SLZ>/P&4/(CD'``&*I(DT?>/'@HJ3BC!:`$`!`*!#<X0$()2A M`Y-O,,36.2,G#!PT:<;,<<$FC9C"<O(L'"`O(-RGQ/T"`;T&``"%`0``GA0"' M<<B!^@T``#@%```!````````````36%K9590;W(N87-M`!X`?SF@%`!-86ME[ M5E!O<G1?4&%T8V@N87-M````P$%`````0"DC*```%8``H:*'P8,($RI<R+"A+ MPX<(50@D.+"B18M-PJPI8P7*&SETOD`)0V<,&A`M6H`86?)D&!!BZIP!D<8-U MB(P;.WZD<[%G18D#"T(<2K1H4:`4?2H=..0-G#QRTIQ!PQ/%F!0@8N3(`>-FA M&)`U05`)DX8-FS)FRLA9JA2I"K9+FSZ-.K7JU:Q;NTIY(T8MSREASLX),P>N" M3[>&$X,(8A:$%*E4"TLI,T>MG3)D%,-U:[2SY\^(+UI1.R?-&S<ZLKKH6G$&F MC!9!X,AIP17C5SIAQY8]FW:MYI\3WUX<@B:,FS.44S^A6S/P[^>*.7^>3KVA1 MQ(F*:XYA4X=,&1`BRN`I,^8%G3QP*+M((P)[8NW<O8,73_X%FS1BY'Q-HYZ]7 M>\/P=?==>..5UT89;7R4QWKM_0<7'G*@!<(73%CQQ!-LD/%$>FXP@9]^<N3A[ M(%L02DBAA4.P\49E'N;WE8B_E6C&A!4^,449=!A1AQMCX';:B$O)2*.%.''D] M$4A`*B7DB4\PIN(832"8I$]+UBA7'E&V,65/55IHQ$=BI$'&EA=U^004:K61H M!AT*M#E$$$PP@5$00TCQ1$4\Z,BCCVY\X408!_H`I!IS^%81DUS$@$(0-J0`& M9!%.$-%$FPI,D<<<0A#VW4!%1%&%%(O9H,`19N"1:645=?KI8C4HP)))67+J; M*:A!T.`J229-D88>WZD*`@TPM`E=3TT\84410;@@)PTL6(JIIL(.:Q$3R%Y$* M*AY_'H@"%$.DP$(0,9!IV)MQ6H2AAARV""*,TE94[+'*#D0$#"Q<>VH9XL(EK MA!-%N#!%11N6X09FUT;;[DW&=EK1"#+0.^]%.X`PQAMU9`B"&V_PY)3`(-PGC M!@L@Q%''FOFR)0454[09\,!D7)M:8D,T`84+5RP\@PTL,)&$$%\<*\4423SAU M!`KV:NKHP0,)<42__S*E8F77#A2Q&6F,EUE85MP,@G&9A6$&'6J!/,<;()!Q; MV@D\P8$K&@:W^Z["`XWP*AJZ\LK"O"4O]7:\((S01!%-&"%2%4+H/,3=X2(-6 M`KER5N3D&U!*J?C>C<_+PMQ9YJW4ODQ7=$3&F6ON$^4#%5W9MS%`?#'9![8AG M-MDBDZPXXQ:EN&(9ZKXH.K$)1[%P#`X'J_C)*8\*.H(O:T9M$!?-W91WVW;[E MK?!(D[[2VEFBOOM%;_L>]]QUEW$W]0?37M&5H<\.9^,#?2E'F&-NCU'"?)LN% M/KCRNTM_XR,P6:1.()E>_@9B/<PA:'P#7`P1B!`%OHV`67A37[DJ<J,<[:A'0 MIG%#`JUGN6UA#T&.2J#Y!H(F.:B)30JP'=1*E3S#6,]^VI,@^Q;W--Q]2'>3_ MZ]W"@I=`XE'*>6_P3@O90H0A\&T@Y'-;PIH0KUJ](`@U8$$+%G6#HU5O?P,!S MU[=JH)2(01$$Q2F,'>"PDP0NKWEK>UX9HN>M6H'`BS0`(V%`H+:6;(T,9)##W M!K$(@D71H(UQ5)V*PI"9"#GG?T?B"2'SF$`E3`%4%O$C5KI8-K(9D@U>R4DBJ M]PBOFH&`!`U;5`V\]3"I@0"`=#A!8:S`GSLT(8B42:`04$8%BXR`!$08GT\B!
