Hi Phil and Bill, It didn't cure my disease. I can run coot. I just have to open the first coot then open a second session. The second session behaves fine as long as the first "frozen" one is still open. No idea what it is and it doesn't seem to matter if a nightly build or the stable release. Something definitely changed in my system that I didn't authorize but the ghost of Steve Jobs must have.
