- Upon upgrading to GK 1.2.7, a disturbing problem appeared in my IIsi (5/80,
- 8MB VM, OS7.0.1/tuneup, Daystar ComboCache): After startup, the Apple menu
- icon was missing its right side, i.e., from the stem to the "bite" was
- white. The entire apple reappears when I click on it but disappears again
- after I let off the mouse button. Launching (seemingly) any application
- restores the Apple to its pristine state, but after working for a while,
- the system color palette goes screwy, leaving the Desktop and all icons
- looking somewhat bleached.
-
- This problem did not occur when Gatekeeper Aid alone was loaded.
-
- I did some preliminary poking around and found that if any one of the
- Stuffit SpaceSaver, Engine, or Magic Menu Extensions/CDEVs was not loaded,
- the problem (with the Apple icon, at least) seemed to disappear. (The
- Viewer Engine (another Stuffit extension) seemed not to enter into the
- equation.)
-
- Despite my initial findings, I am not certain I have found the root cause
- of this problem. What I know for sure: When I installed GK 1.2.7, the
- problem appeared; when I removed it, the problem disappeared.
-
- I would be interested to know if anyone else, especially Stuffit Space
- Saver users, have run into this or any other problems concomitant with
- their installation of GK 1.2.7. Please post if you think your response
- would be of general interest.
-
- Thank you for your attention and help.
