- I'm running a Mac IIsi, with the Tuner, and I've seen it happen plenty.
-
- It mostly happens to me after I bomb the machine.
-
- For instance, I'll have a window that is all small icons. When I restart
- (sometimes) they'll be all large icons in the same spots where the small
- icons were. Then, when I view by small icon again, the icons get all cramped
- and I have to re-drag them all back to their previous locations.
