I had an unusual logging experience with fldigi-3.21.26.  I checked the T2T 
online log and it showed a QSO with AA5VU for 15 meter digital.  I remembered 
working T2T (Tuvalu) on RTTY; however, the QSL was not in my fldigi logbook. At 
the time I assumed I must have forgot to push the <LOG> macro.   

The next day I decided to work the T2T operation again and this time I made 
sure I clicked on the log button.  To double-check I opened the logbook using 
the Logbook/View menu item and the second T2T QSO was not logged.  At this 
point I moused on the File/Folders/Fldigi config option and nothing happened. 
It did not open my .fldigi folder.  Fldigi was decoding perfect but some of the 
other command options were not functioning.

I quit and restarted fldig and that did not help.  I then quit and restarted 
the iMac (OS X 10.7.2) and fldigi seems to be working normal again. I then 
manually entered the QSO and fldigi logged it but I had to edit the QSO time. I 
have no idea what caused some of the fldigi functions to be 
sleeping-on-the-job.  This may be a Mac OS X only issue.

Now that I think about it, I ran into this same situation some time ago in a 
contest where I logged QSO's but the SN's got all screwed up because some 
numbers and QSO were skipped or not logged.

I have learned (the hard way) to keep the logbook open while contesting or 
working DX to be sure the <LOG> macro really saves the QSO.

Ps: The T2T QSO (with Jay W5SL) is now in my fldigi log for a new RTTY country.
