Thanks you.

OK, "annoying" is better than "serious"

What you describe is very clear and yes, it describes well my problem.

I did send in private a screen copy of my situation to Paul

Paul said it should be solved already in 4.1, sound good !

My distro only provides 4.0 :(


Thanks

best regards
