Yes, me too. WIN95 with R1 5.0 with NS/VT. Network connected.

FWIW, it seems to happen when I have left the inactive session at a
'crucial' moment (not sure what 'crucial' is, but it might be with text
highlighted for a Cut/Copy, or while it's talking to the HP).

I'll try the mouse-click trick - so far, I've always had to go back to
the inactive session and 'free' it before I can use the other one.

It's kind of as if the first session says - 'Well, he can't possibly
stop at this point', but I do, and it catches the second session out,
because the first one is still holding on to the resources....



And while we're on oddities, anybody seen this one, and/or know the
solution?

1 Reflection session, as above, do a big LISTF (or anything, really,
that is about 100 lines or more long). Go back to the top of it, start
selecting by dragging with the mouse.

Mostly, when you hit the bottom of the screen, the data below scrolls
up, and you can select it. But sometimes, it won't scroll in that way.
When this happens, you have to scroll conventionally, and shift-click on
the last data line to get your 100 lines selected.

I can't see a pattern to what makes it change behaviour, nor, once it
has stopped the scroll-on-demand, to get it back without restarting
Win95. (Restarting R1 won't do it).

Probably Win95 rather than R1, by that token, but R1 is the only product
giving the problem. Wick Hill, the UK WRQ distributor, are aware of it,
but haven't isolated it. Any clues out there?
