There are no precise steps, because it doesn't happen every time. Just an hour ago I went from reading mail in my inbox preview pane, to one of my custom views. Instead of the custom view, I got "My Computer" view.
30 minutes later I did the exact same thing. And the custom view appeared as it should instead of exhibiting the bug. And later today I will go from one folder to another, and it will happen again. And five minutes later I will go to another folder, and it won't happen. The only thing I can reproduce without fail is the lack of being to reproduce it every single time :) Laurie On 1/23/03 5:21 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] added a note to the human symphony when this was said: > I'm hoping that if enough people post their precise repro steps, a clearer > pattern will emerge.
