John, Well, tried it again today and it doesn't do it now. So not sure what I did differently this time, but since it's only did it that first time after installing, won't worry about it unless it becomes a more serious problem later. At least you've had other reports and it's known to be fixed in version 9 now. If I happen to see it again and can reproduce the behavior will let Wolfram support know what I find. Thanks again... -Bob On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 2:08 PM, John Fultz <jfultz at wolfram.com> wrote: > We had a bug report on this in-house (for the Mac version only, I should > note), and for a long time had trouble reproducing it.
