Well I ma embarrassed. You reminded me of a truth which confirms your
analysis. When I observed this phenomena in F11 my other machine was
running F12. So that changed the whole picture along the lines that you
have discovered. I am going to have to think further on this matter.
But, the shame is that I expected the bugzilla people to try to do what
you have dune instead of leaving me hanging. Thanks for all of your
work.
