I discovered a strange bug in the AES window manager which can be triggered
by following procedure:
 1. start a GEM application which opens a window
 2. activate an accessory which opens another window
    (i.e. Control Panel, Calculator, etc.)
 3. exit GEM application without closing the accessory window

Now repeat (1) and (2) and watch what happens to the windows if you move
one of them.
The effects vary from mispositioned window border elements to missing
redraws of the work areas.
Once triggered the bug seems to stay resident until reboot.

The ST is like a sort of "magic hat":
You'll never know what bug is going to jump out next.
