This has happened twice when using an iMac G5. The first time this happened I thought I was hallucinating. The next time, several weeks later, it happened again, and googleing led me to the “Do a barrel roll” trick. However, I did not type anything into the search box, both times it was something I did accidentally. I am just curious what that was. Anyone have an idea?
