Glad I could help, and thanks for reporting the culprit! |

That sort of automatic-action thing seriously bothers me (whether or not |
| 15 |
I'm the victim at the time), because as they say, "It just ain't natural!" |
| 16 |
=8^) Tracing it to a single application seriously eases the frustration, |
| 17 |
because at least then there's something to point to and say /this/ is the |
| 18 |
culprit, even if it's something I want to continue to use. At least then, |
| 19 |
there's a known cause, not something violating my nice logical cause and |
| 20 |
effect world of computing! <g> So... yeah, glad /one/ mystery has been |
| 21 |
laid to rest, and thanks for reporting it. |
