Something has been bugging me. Has anyone noticed a flickering of the menu bar, delays in typing and an inability to triple click when using Script Editor in OS 9 with OSA menu installed?

Yes. And copy and paste doesn't work either. TypeIt4Me moves at a crawl (related to your typing issue). The control menu flashed erratically, and there may have been other things I've forgotten that arose from time to time that I attributed to that same bad marriage. A third thing in the mix here is the version of Carbon Lib you have running, though I can't recall what all the bad combinations are/were. There were several mixtures of the three that exhibited the same behaviour. Older versions of Script Editor don't seem to be affected as much as the last couple or three (I know I had resorted to using an older one, maybe 1.2 or so, that didn't do that. Since the features in Script Editor hadn't changed it didn't appear to matter.).



I thought that I'd probe this list before I tackle the author.

I don't believe that this was ever resolved. I recall that Leonard and Jon were working on it to see if they could fix OSAMenu so the behaviours would stop, but it seems that things more or less drifted off to the land of X before the gremlins were rooted out.
