Yesterday I didn't notice that the hang is unrelated to proxy information: it just happens whenever the buttons "Apply" or "OK" are clicked in the Preferences menu (even if no change was made at all to settings).
As a sidenote, I would expect that the same Preferences window would close by clicking "Esc", and that doesn't happen. Pietro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
