I've also noticed that Snap locks up the machine if I am currently in
the process of snapping some text and while I have the
Left-Amiga+LMouse button down, another program suddenly performs an
OpenWindow or OpenScreen on top of the boxed region.

I use Snap all the time because it is so useful.  But does the
graphics snapping mode have any practical utility at the moment?  Being
able to cut out bitmapped clip-art on the fly into its own window is
truly neat, but has anyone been able to do anything with it?
