Hmmm. Well, I've just changed this utterly in -current, but I wasn't going to back-port it to -stable until I had a snapshot build done. Hmmm. I know, I'll insert the changes just into tonite's snapshot without actually committing them yet. We may have to push the release date forward 24-48 hours, I'm thinking at this point. But don't tell anyone yet, let them continue to work as if the deadline was 2 days from now. :-) - Jordan > I have some more info. It looks like its a screen redraw issue.
