It performs as advertised except for one problem: It (version 1.0.4) interferes with the Balloon Help mechanism. When DownLine is active (open) doing something or just idle and the Balloon Help is turned on, positioning the cursor on a "Balloon Help sensitive spot" causes the help to flicker, turning itself off and on, with such a frequency that it is almost impossible to read the help. This happens without any extensions loaded. Is version 1.0.4 the latest version of DownLine? -- ============================================================================= Arie Covrigaru | University of Michigan AI Lab Phone: (313)763-1255 | Room 149, Advanced Technology Bldg.
