When trying to select text, the highlighted text is underlined rather than inverse-ed. I usually manage to enter the state when editing, and I may be hitting some keys unintentionally. The only way I've found to exit the state is be re-booting. Exiting sunview doesn't do it, logging out doesn't do it. Once or twice I managed to get back to the normal mode by fiddling with different key/mouse combinations, but I can never recreate the sequence... Anyone have any clues as to what I'm seeing? I searched the manuals and found no reference to what I described; it sure is frustrating! Dave Regis
