I strongly don't believe this has anything todo with the graphics drivers or even with the used chipsets. > The only other thing I can think of is that she is of the habit of > selecting a dozen or more files in the sidebar and opening them all at > once, to make global changes in them.

Erm, is it that certain documents get closed or is it just the notebook tab bar which disappears? Maybe she accidentally double clicks on a notebook, then Geany hides 'additional widgets' and so the tab bar. Maybe she is closing the documents accidentally by middle-clicking on the notebook tabs? But then a message should be in the status window that a document was closed. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key
