Some of these bugs are not specific to Windows machines. Neither are they dependent on the speed of the machine.

Not this exactly, but I can usually resize the message box one time. From then on, it is not resizable unless i close and reopen it again. And LC likes to open some of my saved stacks at the default size of new stacks. I have to script a preOpenCard handler to handle the resizing, or do it myself over and over again. > > What is now a new problem with 9.0, and a bit of an annoyance, is the fact > that the property inspector does not keep the resized value when changing > when selecting another control.

This happens on my machine too.
