No, AGA 128 colour screen, but I guess it's close enough.

Well if that's the case, then so be it, but I'd like to think that isn't the
prob either. The corruption I get isn't limited to a trashed palette. It's a
trashed display with weird banding appearing. After the buttons go,
requesters start leaving artifacts and the main display becomes corrupted.
Quitting and re-starting AWeb doesn't cure it, then. The only option is a
reboot. Having said that, once this has happened, a crash usually follows
eventually, anyway.

Fortunately, as I said in a previous mail, it's only a rare occurrence,
here.

Regards

Steve
