No, it really is a bug. As Trevor noted, it applies in Classic, not under true OS 9. http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=379 http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1466 http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1468 http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2212 At one point it appeared to have been fixed - however I think this may be the continuing confusion between Classic under X versus true OS 9. It is a bug, and it is fantastically annoying for anyone developing under OS X who still needs to support OS 9, as for many apps it is simply impossible to test them under Classic. According to Tuviah's note on the latest of the above reports, the problem is in the development tool (CodeWarrior) that the Mac engine is built in, so RunRev can't fix it until Metrowerks fix that. Which puts me in somwewhat of a biter bit situation, since there are a number of bugs in my products that I tell my users "I can't do anything about it until my development environment [rev] is fixed". Now I know how they feel!
