But curiously, that setting is changed by Fn-F7 - and doesn't seem to influence that situation anyhow. Well, as far as I am concerned, this isn't really a problem anymore. Pressing Fn-F7 isn't that difficult, after all. However, I am wondering whether this behaviour still possibly could/should be fixed whereever it is caused?
