System 7.5: Stickies Type 1 Caused By Collapsed Window (3/95)


There is an intermittent problem that can happen with Stickies v1.0 that ships with System 7.5, which causes intermittent crashes when Stickies is launched. If one of the note windows is collapsed using WindowShade or the "Zoom-box collapses window" option, a Type 1 error can appear when Stickies is launched.

Engineering has reproduced and identified the problem. Unfortunately, the error is purely random and some things may make it occur more often. Since this problem is random, it is impossible to specify which setup causes the problem to occur. It is a random crash that might occur on some setups but not on others.

The following solutions are available:

* Install System 7.5 Update 1.0 to replace the older version of Stickies with
version 1.0.1.

* Leave Stickies windows uncollapsed until System 7.5 Update 1.0 can be
installed.
