SYMPTOMS
========

When you configure the 3D Text screen saver to display custom text, the text you
enter may not be displayed correctly.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur when you type "volcano" (without the quotation marks) in
the Text box in the 3D Text Setup dialog box.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, type an additional character before or after the word
volcano. For example, you could type something similar to any of the following
alternate text strings:

  volcano.

  !volcano

  volcanoes

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior is a feature of the 3D Text screen saver. When you type the word
"volcano" (without the quotation marks) in the 3D Text Setup dialog box and the
screen saver starts, the names of volcanoes from around the world are displayed
on your screen.
