I tried the two sequences on a IIfx 8/160 with 7.0 copied from a dealer and I didn't get the behavior you describe. In the first case, the size was back to the original value (9) after the alert. In the second case, after switching to size 6, the icons seemed to move up but this is probably because characters size 9 are taller than the small icons while 6 is not. But the scroll bars were not activated. I then switched back to size 9 and the window was back to its original status without the scroll bars activated.
