Hi Fabio,

I have noticed this too.  Thanks for bringing it up.

I've done some research this morning and found that the problem seems to be brought on by Morphic-mt.1474.  It does not matter if one loads the follow-up update, Morphic-mt-1475, nor the companion update, System-mt.1051.

Clean-up and bug fixes in resize grips. See http://forum.world.st/Please-Review-Some-updates-for-resize-grips-td5092584.html <http://forum.world.st/Please-Review-Some-updates-for-resize-grips-td5092584.html>

Note that for testing this, a new system window needs to be created:  loading this update will not effect already-existing windows.  (Though it might be my imagination, it /seems/ as if already-existing windows change their SystemWindowButton a /bit/ slower after loading this update...?)

I wonder why it effects Mac OS but not Linux.

Best,
Tim

PS – what did you use to create that animated GIF screenshot?  That was pretty nice, and showed up clearly in an email message.
