Thus I cannot replicate easily if at all. but the above implies it happens more than once,m but further up you said just once ever (which indicates this as rare and hard to make happen)? > > > > > I do not believe you can restart EFM like you can E.

I would not hold your breath. Its been a > bit since I last seen it, and maybe fixed with newer EFL... steps to make it happen would be perfect. :) it may be that it's been fixed and its just some transitory bug in efl or e and not really a core issue. i don't know. if it was happening regularly then i'd be able to hunt it down. it would be annoying. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
