Yes, i had the same problem. Dragging a window very fast from left to right
and back left a lot of vetical lines on the screen. I think it has something
to do with the accessories you have installed. When i used ALARMCLK and some
ramdisk, the problem occured. Now i have a different configuration and i have
never seen these symptoms again.
I have a Mega ST4 & SH205 and now with the following Programs in exact this
order in the  AUTO-folder:
        ETERNL3
        TURBODOS
        FOLDERxxx
        IDLE12
Acessories:
        Mouse Speed     (Speed up the Mouse)
        Extras          (new File Selector Box)
        ROCP
        MemFile!        (1.4)
I hope this will be of some help.
