Mac OS 9.1 will not fix the "UI freeze bug". The following script, saved as
an applet will freeze the UI when you click into the menu bar. You cannot do
anything until the script has finished it's work:
-----
display dialog "Dismiss this dialog and click into the menu bar while the
script is in foreground.
If the user interface freezes, press apple-command-esc and click CANCEL or
wait 10 seconds."
set startime to current date
repeat until ((current date) > (startime + 10))
end repeat
-----
Interesstingly, if this script is saved as an OS X applet the UI doesn't
freeze! On the other hand, the menu isn't grayed when the script is in the
repeat loop, but i would prefer this cosmetic bug much more than a whole UI
freeze.
Greetings
