I just downloaded the Amigaguide file and have been playing around with it. Am I the only one experiencing 'partial crashes' i.e. Amigaguide ignoring all the gadgets of CONTENTS, RETRACE etc. leaving you no other choice than quitting the program by menu or the close gadget ?

Now I found the problem (A1000, ADOS 2.1). It is the vertical scrollbar. Try clicking 6-7 times fast on one of the arrows. After that the AG gadgets are non-functional. Only the menus and standard gadgets will work. I guess, I ought to change my habits and click only once on the scrollbar arrow keeping the mouse botton depressed for a while.

Strange, I can get it to fail every time I try. I removed all the small utility programs and commodities from my Startup-sequence, but no change. After at most 2-3 tries it fails. I use the command "Amigaguide Autodocs" and click 5-6 times very fast on the down-arrow of the vertical scrollbar. Normally clicking and keeping the left button depressed will give a continuous scroll, but after the fast clicks that feature is disabled, but it is still possible to scroll by single clicks. The Contents and Help gadgets are disabled as well. BTW still using my old A1000 and ADOS 2.1 (no similar problem on Workbench or Drawer windows). Faster CPUs may cure this problem.

My bare bones A2000 can't dupe the problem. -Jonathan
