I'd guess that the problem is caused by bugs in the applications which
manifest themselves because of the particular peculiarities of your Mac.

For example, MacGS View does that kind of thing on lots of 68k Macs when
you do unreasonable things like move the console window.  Unfortunately,
it's developed on a PowerMac which never, ever, ever does anything like
that.  The developer is suffering a major case of bafflement.
