Yes, with the default settings, I am able to reproduce the problem on a Power Macintosh 8100/80AV with System 7.5 and NFS/Share 1.3.5.
According to InterCon Technical Staff, the problem was caused by Macintosh Easy Open which has "Automatic document translation" turned ON by default in System 7.5. You will see the following dialog after opening NFS/Share in the Chooser, and it then disappears quickly:
"The system keeps a record of all preferences you've indicated. Are you sure you want to delete these and select new preferences for your translation?"
InterCon is aware of the problem, and it is a high priority in their list of fixes. They hope to have a fix in the near future (either in a new release of software or a patch).
In the meanwhile, we tested the following workaround to the problem:
* Turn "Automatic document translation" OFF in the Macintosh Easy Open
CDEV in System 7.5 or 7.1.2
* In NFS/Share Chooser, after Logging In but before mounting an NFS server
do the following:
select a "Volume To Mount"
go to "Edit..." to edit the mount point
check ON "Maintain Desktop Info"
"Save" the edit
do "Mount"
* It will rebuild the desktop the first time the volume is mounted. Since
you have saves with "Maintain Desktop Info", your Macintosh won't
rebuild the desktop the next time you mount this volume.
