This bug is not present in version 2.2.2 of Mathematica with the X Front End, the current shipping version for the platforms you mention. Anyone having problems with this bug can contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wri.com or support-euro at wri.com) and requesta bug-fix upgrade. I hope this helps. --Ian ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Technical Sales Support Wolfram Research, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tel (217) 398-0700 Fax (217) 398-0747 ianc at wri.com ----------------------------------------------------------------
