I'm unable to reproduce this on multiple workstations, both private
and public. I suspect therefore that it is not a bug per se, but an
issue with your private workstation. Please ask a question in olc by
typing "olc ask" at the Athena prompt and Athena Consulting will
attempt to assist you in tracking down this problem.
