Yeah, forgot that, sorry. I originally was using 0.134, same as is working correctly on my openSUSE hdd. I upgraded to 0.135 yesterday (before I read your reply) and the problem still exists. I have no need to upgrade on my openSUSE hdd as Pan works there. > Right now, all that's only available with a git clone (from the main pan > git repo as hosted by gnome) and build from sources The only place I've seen/found Pan is the rebelbase website, but it has instructions for the git thing. I guess I'll give that a try, but I'm going to bet that since this problem happens on two of the latest versions it's going to happen on the git version as well. > FWIW, I've not seen anything like your problem reported with current git- > pan or even 0.135, current release, but while I do track this list, I > haven't yet gotten back to following pan's bugs at bugzilla like I used > to, so it's possible I've missed it.

I'll report back about it working or not on the git version. Thanks for the assistance, this is driving me nuts as I really, really use Pan a lot when I'm on my openSUSE hdd. -- "Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens". -unknown Deport Illegal Aliens! -- "Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens". -unknown Deport Illegal Aliens! _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
