Any more information > i can provide? looks like you found a bug. you have enabled "multiple in stances one process" an that should mean running terminology multiple times just results in 1 terminology process but multiple windows from it as if you had multiple terminology processes around. -s should bypass this and force a new process. it sees multiple instances one process has become broken somehow. disabling that should get you back to normal. > Thanks, > -Conrad. > > -- > Shine like thunder > Cry like rain > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-users mailing list > enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users > -- ------------- 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-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
