[comp.sys.mac.system] Strange Finder behaviors

tisu@quads.uchicago.edu (Seth Tisue) (03/08/91)

The following is a phenomenon I've been noticing for some time and have
been curious about.  (Note: I'm running a Mac SE/30, 2 MB RAM, and about
a screen rowful of INITs: ATM, Suitcase II, Disinfectant INIT, Boomerang,
etc.)  The problem usually only shows when I have been using the system
for some time & making heavy demands on it (i.e., lots of open windows, etc.).
I find when I quit from an application to the finder, as the finder displays
the various directory windows on the desktop, rectangular patches of gray
will get overlaid on the windows in various places, most typically towards
the left edge of the screen.  They are usually gray bars about 10 or 15
pixels high.  This may be only a cosmetic problem, or it may not; I'm tempted
to say that I've noticed more system crashes happening after this has
occurred, but I'm not sure if that's really true or not.

Has anyone else noticed the same behavior?
