Indeed so. Now here's where I eat humble pie. I ran an emerge -e world overnight (for other reasons) and now I can't reproduce the strangeness[1]. Firefox now behaves as it should. I can only apologise to you Paul, and to anyone else who put as much effort as you did into helping me with what turns out to have been a red herring. --->8 Now for some strong coffee... [1] Perhaps I shouldn't mention Konsole, of which I have four instances on one desktop. In two of them, turning the mouse wheel scrolls the output as expected, but in the other two it scrolls the command-line buffer! I assume this is just one more artefact of the mess that is KDE these days. -- Peter
