I did a cold start today, and my top-level window, previously in small icon view was in "large icon" mode, except the icons hadn't moved, i.e., were bunched up. I changed the view to Small Icon, and they stayed bunched up. I had to clean up the window and reposition the icons. This has happened before, but this is the first time I could do a reasonable description of the problem.

I have an SE/30 with 5meg RAM and 40Meg hard disk running System 7 downloaded from ftp.apple.com (800k images). I also have a Sigma Designs Pageview (15" mono) monitor connected. While shutting down the machine my toplevel harddisk window was in the 9" monitor; but, after a cold start it was moved to the full-page monitor and the window resized. I could not reliably replicate it. Baskaran (bach@brahms.udel.edu)
