I have the following situation with my Mac SE:

When I hilite several lines of text, say in a Hypercard script or in
VersaTerm, the right side of the bounding window, as well as the
vertical scroll bar, start to bow out so that the side is no longer
straight. If I scroll with the lines still hilited, the bend follows
the path of the hilited line. As soon as I unlite the lines, the side
of the window and the scroll bar become perfectly straight again.
I have not tried this experiment with lots of different program, but I
have observed it in both Hypercard and VersaTerm. When no lines are
selected, or the entire screen is selected, the screen is rock steady
and all bounding sides are straight. It is only when I hilite part of
the screen that the bowing out occurs.

Any suggestions on why this is happening? Is it something to worry
about?

I have a two floppy SE, purchased in Sept. 88, with 2.5 meg, attached
to an external 60 meg CMS drive.
