In computer-terminology this is called Windows' "curtain effect": Imagine a curtain on a real-life window that sometimes gets hooked on something and you cannot open or close it in one smooth move. You have to jerk it. But at other times it does move smoothly. The reason is some residue (I didn't want to say dirt) on the rail on which the curtain moves, or just a worn-out rail. The same happens to the frame edges when you want to drag them with the mouse on some old monitors. Those monitors didn't have a de-ioniser, which is what can be compared to an automatic rail-cleaning feature upon shut-down (like a modern TV set gets rid of static electricity on the screen when you turn it off). So the frame edge gets "hooked" there. You have already found out the computer equivalent of "jerking" it. (Disclaimer to those who know: don't flame me. To those who don't know: don't believe me. To those who don't know whether they should know: you'd believe anything, just because it was written in the internet, right? ;-)) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
