I just tried turning on Balloon Help(tm) to see what it said about the Easy Access symbols. In the process, quite by accident, I found a one- pixel-wide region, just to the right of the current application icon, where the help balloon for this icon keeps flashing on and off. Move one pixel to the left and you get a steady balloon; a pixel to the right and it disappears; but in-between, it can't seem to decide which way to go. I can't get this to happen with other any other menu titles, at least in the Finder; only with the icon for the application menu. Can anybody else reproduce this? Or should I go get something to eat before I lose touch with reality altogethegether...
