Oh, and it works fine here too, and has doen ever since I added Geminus and a second monitor, over a year and a half ago. Panes can indeed be pains(!) and I suspect that coding them for all foreseeable situations is a difficult exercise in pre-cognition (or something!) Even in RISC OS, other apps have occasional issues with panes. For example, there are corcumstances where Pluto's "attachments" pane becomes detached (is that a form of irony?) as its position is not always updated after the main article window is changed. David P says that he is not able to deal with the above problem is what might be called Win-OPro (for short) -- but perhaps we have now reached the point where it might be worth his considering broadening the coder base from a "one-man band", so that some of these awkward matters can be tackled. I don't know how (or if) it would work: I merely suggest that it might /now/ be worth at least having a look at the idea. I should perhaps add that I have no personal interest in Win-OPro, but am simply trying to be helpful. -- John Ward in Medway, Kent - using RISC OS since 1987 Now using an Iyonix, an A9home, 2 RiscPCs and Virtual-RPC!
