I'd have to SEE it, but I'm guessing it has to do with video card
aliasing... don't complain, thank your lucky stars and kill it.

The other day I was playing against the computer. I was Terran, He was
Protoss. I was massing some wraiths outside his base for a sneak attack,
(they were all cloaked) I noticed as they moved that I could see the outline
of an observer. The observer was not moving, and even when I had stopped
the wraiths, as long as one of my wraiths(still cloaked) was at the same
spot I could see the observer's silouette. It looked like it was some kind
of bug in the software.

Now I'm wondering if it would work for wraiths to find other cloaked
wraiths or ghosts, etc.?

Has anyone else seen this?

Actually, this is perfectly normal, but usually, spending your time
scrutinously searching the map for outlines of cloaked units at a stop is
VERY time consuming and not worth it. This also works with burrowed units.
If you look VERY carefully you can see a burrowed unit. It is nearly
impossible to see them tho unless you know they are already there. It works
well when they are on like half dirt, half grass, you can see the
disrutpion. Again, you don't really have time to search for them. It works
best in installation maps. But of course you can't play installation maps
on net games.
