After returning from Macsbug, the right and bottom borders (the pixels between
640 and 712 horizontal, and between 480 x 512 vertical) do not update. If I,
for example, have a Finder window that stretches into the bonus region provided
by MAZ, and I close and open this window, no drawing takes place in the region
outside the standard 640x480. The only fix I know of is to toggle screen depths.I have always had this "feature" under all versions of MAZ I've tried (1.2
and 1.3). Initially, after returnning from Macsbug, the bonus region is black
until I change depths.

I always assumed this was "normal". Does it sound familiar? I was hoping to
fix the problem outside of Macsbug by modifying the scrn resource. I realize
that Macsbug's screen will only be 640x480. Perhaps we are fighting a losing
cause. There may be sublte differences in various versions of the Toby frame
buffer that result in unique bugs and failure modes.
