   Okay, FixIntuition is a "fix" for a WindowToFront/Back bug.  This bug shows
up when you have a few screens (3 or more) of interlace/non-interlaced. 
Invariably, when you shift and move to these screens, when you entercounter an
interlaced screen, it will turn to non-interlace, half up, and the machine
locks.  FixIntuition is a VERY dirty fix for this.  It works great if you have
hardly any processor-intensive tasks going, but if you do have PIT (Processor
intensive tasks)'s going, bam, it'll screw up.  I had this happen TODAY, just
as I was showing a guy the Amiga.  I would think that a message port type of
fix would do the job.  As in the patch included with MachII 2.6 that fixes yet
another Amiga Intuition bug.  It calls a message port every time it's needed
and works perfectly.  Could one of you awsome programmers make something that
fixes this TERRIBLE bug?  It's a bug that a few people might encounter, bug I
would encounter it ALL the time if I didn't have FixIntuition, because I have
many screens open.  (I like to be boastful in my demoing and general mtasking
use.)  PLEASE HELP!  SOMEONE!!!  PLEASE!

  I would also like to report a bug that I think NOONE has found yet.  If you
take a DISK ICON, move it to the titlebar on your workbench screen, and while
holding it there (by keeping the left mouse-button pressed) hit the left
Alt-Amiga keys while hold the DISK ICON, and BAM, LOCKUP!  Neat, eh?  Maybe I
should work for Commodore...
