I believe I read a report that certain themes can cause that behavior. If you have a GTK or GNOME theme, try changing it and see if that helps. Apparently at least one theme "fights" with the spellchecker or something else in pan, I'm not sure what. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
