I've seen this problem too. It even happens on short manual pages if you try hard (zmailnotify is what I just tried it on). I guess it screws up on all the page headers if you don't move far enough backward to catch some boldface code. To duplicate, scroll just past one of the PROGRAMNAME(1) USER COMMANDS PROGRAMNAME(1) headers and inch (millimeter?) backward by rightbuttonclicking near the top of the scrollbar. It will display the text normal and then discover "oops I need to be bold" and hose itself. I bet someone has already fixed it. They just need to brag about it :) Anyone fixed xpostit yet? Our old R3 (used because R4 version won't compile) can't figure out where new postits go and sticks them all in the zero corner. -- ( My name's not really Gilligan, It's Robert Forsman, without an `e' )
