Enhancer software 'About' window problem
Just popping in

See User information
I don't know when this started happening because it used to work, but now when selecting the 'About' option in any of the Enhancer updated programs like MultiViewer etc the Workbench locks up.

I've stopped all the programs that I've installed from starting up but it still does it.
The only major software that I've installed lately is the new Hollywood update but I havent read about anybody else having this problem with Hollywood.

All other programs 'About' windows works its just the Enhancer stuff.
I have been wondering if its something to do with the new infowindow.class but I haven't got an earlier version to try it with.

Is there an official support forum for the Enhancer software ?.

This is a known bug, and it only affects OS4 system installations that do not have a background texture set in the GUI prefs ("Gadgets" section). The freeze is triggered by a bug in the Window Class, of which InfoWindow is a subclass. The bug has already been fixed in the current OS4 beta, but unfortunately the fixed class binary hasn't found its way into the OS4 FE Update 1 release. Before the fix is made public, the recommended workaround is to use an OS4 theme that provides a background texture.

Not an Enhancer bug, really.

You're welcome. The bug had given me a real hard time before I found out that it was actually a bug in the masterclass. (The Window Class has rarely been subclassed, which explains why the bug had gone unnoticed for some 20 years before the InfoWindow exposed it.)

It's remarkably easy to find old bugs when you attempt to do something nobody has ever bothered to try before (see also my fight with image menus)

Oh yes it is

I'm also wondering why the original ClassAct authors decided to make the Requester Class a class of its own, rather than a Window subsclass (which would be the most logical thing to do IMHO). If they had done that, the bug might have been spotted long ago.
