Tsk, tsk.

Ha!  I've seen this!  It happened to me a few times when I was developing
Intuition applications.  There was no apparent pattern, no way to repeat
it and no way to be really sure it was gone.  It just sort of went away
"by itself" and didn't seem to come back.

I would bet there is an Intuition scenario that can reproduce this.  It may
not be a bug since the application may need to be doing something funny as
well.  Anyone have *any* idea what this is?
