It doesn't appear with BSNES or Snes9x.
To reproduce, select (with the A button) on a weapon/armor/relic twice.. and then cancel (with the B button) twice and you will see a hand flickering in a corner...
Is this a sprite priority bug or something else altogether?
The FF5 translation patch is not a factor.
Edit: This occurs with 1.42 and the latest WIP (3/8/06)
Edit2: Occurs whether or not New Graphics Engine is enabled.
