[comp.sys.mac.system] Disappearing Folders

rcook@ncsa.uiuc.edu (Robert Cook) (06/24/91)

Has anyone figured out what's causing the mysterious "hiding folder" bug
on the IIsi running system 7.0?  i.e.  the folders disappear, but "find file" 
can still see them.  I know this has been discussed, but I never saw an
answer.

Maybe this is a dumb answer, but I noticed some folders being covered up
by others on the desktop.  This happened to us over file-sharing--I
don't know if it happens otherwise.  It's such a silly thing, but unless
the name of the folder in back is longer than the name of the folder in
front of it, you'll never find it.

Now when a folder seems to disappear on me, I hit "Clean Up Desktop,"
and voila!  This is a very annoying bug, to say the least.
