Summary: Clarification

I have a bit of a clarification and workaround for the DP II
push-brush-into-menu-bar bug:  DP II crashes whenever the second point of
the rectangle (of the brush you're resizing) goes ABOVE the first point.
The workaround is, of course, not to do this.  The menu bar is not really
involved in the bug.
Also the circle brush doesn't seem to have this problem - it works fine no
matter where you drag the mouse while resizing it.
Only the rectangle brush seems to have the bug.

Summary: When resizing rectangle brush, start at the top-left corner
and drag DOWN to the bottom-right to avoid crashes.  ('course the crash is
kinda pretty sometimes...)
