Hi Don,
Just fired up b18. Well, the Duplicates tab stays labeled as
"Previous" and doesn't flash - that's the good news.
Bad news - There somethin' a flashin' - and it's RED. Double bad in
mil. i/f's. Flashing - bad. Flashing RED - really bad.
Please - can whatever is flagging a dup NOT flash? Since you already
have it there, a static red dot would be fine.
Thanks - and thanks for the superb support. I hardly get emails back
from family and friends as fast as your responses!
