Odd behaviour in DiskTop 4.0

I've been using DiskTop 4.0 for about 2 months now (since my upgrade
arrived), and it hasn't given me a lick of trouble.  However, this weekend
when I was moving from FullWrite to MS Word (more on that later), I had a
very odd thing happen: I opened DiskTop, and the Copy button (top button,
upper left hand corner) was gone!  All the other buttons were there (Move,
Delete, Rename, Find, Sizes), but there was just a blank spot where Copy
used to be.  I got out of Word (the application I was in), moved between
several other applications, but the Copy button was still missing every time
I called up DiskTop.  Finally I rebooted, and the problem was gone.

Sound familiar to anyone?  It hasn't occured since.  I was running
MultiFinder at the time, System 6.0.3, Mac SE/30, and had Word and SuperCard
in memory.  Plus quite a few common INITs.  Not looking for an analysis or
trouble-shooting -- between Word and the INITs, it could be almost anything
-- but I was curious if this particular problem had happened to anyone
before.  Unless it pops up again in a week or two, I'll just forget about
it; otherwise, I'll do a full shut-off-one-INIT-at-a-time trouble-shooting
routine.
