Ah, forgive my ignorance, I wasn't aware of those. Only had about an hour in
front of the computer each night this week so not had the chance to
thoroughly browse the bug reports. (more often than not problems I encounter
are either localised to me / me and a handful of others for some reason - or
just plain PEBKAC ;-)

Also just saw Shevek's quick 'n dirty workaround which at least temporarily
solved it for me. Thanks again all.
