- I have this also on a Classic II 4/80 with the same system as you. It
- is exactly as you describe it. It also occurs on many/most of our
- 25-machine teaching lab (with IIci 5/80 machines, with the same system
- and tuneup).
-
- I just receive SimCity Supreme (v. 1.4) for Christmas (yes, it came early
- this year :-), and the problem seemed ATROCIOUS on my Classic II--in
- fact, if I clicked on a SimCity scrollbar and it took off and didn't
- register my up-click, moving off of the clicked area (the scrollbar
- arrow in this case) did NOT stop it (as it does with Finder windows
- and most other windows and buttons). Also, the problem seems to
- occur much more frequently in SimCity. I haven't tried it on the IIci's
- to see if it's worse there (they seem more stable than my Classic
- II for certain things).
-
- I haven't checked with Apple, but then they were unaware of the ADB
- Standard Keyboard II ghost-Delete problem also.
