Kevin,

Again, nothing to offer as the cure, but I should have mentioned this last time but it only clicked today. . .

I see what may be similar behaviour regularly in my usage of UT itself - I find things not responding for quite a while and then I click anywhere and suddenly the message I last clicked appears! Doesn't work for me every time, but since I sensed this behaviour a few weeks back it has saved me lots of waiting.

I should also mention that this doesn't make me value UT as useless or disfunctional.

again, good luck
