I have been playing a bit with the System 8 Golden Master, and it has some
annoying behaviour when I have connected to a NetAtalk volume.
About every 10 seconds or so it thinks something has changed, and it
redraws the window. So if I scroll in a window, after around 10 secs, I am
back to the top left. If I want an always-sorted-by-name view, then many
files often appears twice, disappears, reappears single, double etc.
I am NOT using the TCP patches.
Also, mounted network volumes takes longer to appear on Desktop. But that
also goes for NT volumes.
The volumes mounted from the NT server does not show this behaviour, and
there is MUCH LESS flashing of the atalk activity arrows in the menu bar.
I am not sure what is going wrong, but it is worth to investigate.
I would not recommend wide use of system 8 with 1.4b2.
