I have noticed what I think is a bug in System 7.0.1. In file requestors, many folders are missing their icons (SimpleText in these screenshots, but Word also shows this). I vaguely remember this irritating me 30 years ago, but wanted to check if others have this issue.
I have confirmed with FileBuddy that no custom icons are defined, I have rebuilt the desktop file, and that the folders with missing icons are not in Finder categories. This issue is not present browsing the same folders in a file requestor under System 6.0.8, nor in 7.5.3 - only with 7.0.1. Is this normal? Does anyone know what the cause might be?
Not sure if this is related, but I also noticed that Word 5.1a is unable to bring up a file requestor when 32bit addressing is enabled in 7.0.1 (exits with a type 1 error). It's fine in 7.5.3 with it enabled though, and in 7.0.1 in 24bit addressing. This issue persists even when extensions are disabled (holding shift on boot). EDIT - figured out this Word crash - it's caused by the Word 97-98 import converter. Removed that and it's fine, but this folder icon thing is still annoying.
