Perhaps you should load WorkBench. It is part of the OS, you know. :^) And those crashes are well known, so it certainly isn't me. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Ben, Why load something I don't want or need? It's an option, one that I choose not to use. Don

Yes, I know…. we were talking about OS bugs, and finding them. You said you couldn't find them. I suggested you load the portion of the OS you don't normally use, so that you could experience the REST of what CBM supplies to the users. Never mind. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Ben, If you had said, "for the bug to show up, you've got to load the WB" or some such…I'd have replied differently. I presumed you were just suggesting to me that I use the WB also. However, based on what Harry said, I did in fact just load up the WB and try again. The WB is in interlace, the terminal I'm running is also in interlace. I then opened a PCWindow which is not interlaced. I left the screens ontop of each other and flipped back and forth between 2 of them, then moved them a bit and flipped back and forth between 3 of them. I got no GURU, no problems, no nothing except what I'd expect, the screens each popped to front as they were supposed to. I'm not saying the bug doesn't exist…I'm saying I can't duplicate it. Can anyone give me an exact sequence of events to get it to occur so I can attempt to duplicate it? Don
