Hi, I have been using Mathematica for over ten years, but from time to time I keep running into strange problems with the front end which happen perhaps because I may have pressed a wrong key combination by mistake. (I am using Mathematica 5.2 on a system with SUSE Linux 10.1.) This time the problem is that when I try to execute a function in an Input cell then all Input cells in the notebook light up at once and I get an error message instead of the function executing. (Similarly when I click on the border of an output cell all other output cells light up.) So far I have been unable to locate an Option in the FrontEnd preferences that seems to refer to such a behavior. I have also removed the ~/.Mathematica directory losing my StyleSheets but the problem persists. (I also Quit[] Mathematica and even rebooted the computer without solving the problem.) Right now, the only way I can run my programs is to abandon the frontend altogether. But this is most inconvenient. Can anybody help? Hans
