Hi John and sorry for the delay in replying. My broadband link went down about an hour after my original post and it's only just come back again, this morning :-( Yes, I remember the drag/drop issue - in fact it was me who eventually found the bug (along with a lot of help from some other users!) Thanks also for that link to your app which I installed this morning. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to do with it but I did manage to reach the stage of having a scroll bar on the window and you're right, the problem that was present in 2.20 seems to be gone in 2.24. As it happens, we've been talking about an upgrade to 2.24 recently - but as is always the case in these situations, we're only days away from an important release so we daren't risk making such a drastic change at this late stage. I think it'll be the first thing we do though, once this release has settled down. As a temporary measure, is there any way I can find out what the fix was, so I could try patching v2.20? I might be wrong but this bug has the "feel" of something that would be quite simple to patch - if only I can find the relevant fix. That was certainly the case with the drag'n'drop issue. I spent weeks tracking it down but in the end, turned out to be a trivial fix.
