No it's just that there are more than one object where you clicked. If you
look a the windows, they are all different.
I think finding a programmer bug in populous or powermonger is not an easy

nuking the OS was in the product specs, then it is a design bug)

Apparently the only known bug was in the disk routines, and finding it
involved tricky disassembling...
