Yes it does make a difference. A big difference. That would be the workaround I really needed. At least currently thats the way it looks, i havent thoroughly tested the result yet but it certainly looks right. Perhaps this should be enabled by default to avoid the problem i encountered? At least until whatever the cause of the root problem is identified and fixed. Thanks a lot. ++ to you.
