(Andy J. Williams) writes about strange happenings in the menu bar after many
shift-clicks.

This is a feature of Easy Access, an Apple-provided INIT residing in your
system folder that makes it easier for disabled people to use the Mac.  Hitting
the shift key five times in a row activates EA.  For more info, see the Read Me
file provided with your System Tools disk.

Activating EA and locking down the shift key can cause an apparent loss of
double clicks in the Finder.  The first click (really a shift-click) selects
the icon; the second (really another shift-click) merely deselects it.  Caught
me a few times before I decided I wasn't disabled enough to need EA (actually,
its "keypad mouse" feature does come in handy for fine positioning of things).
