We were having this problem too. It was brought up by someone else on this list a while back, and they were told that it had been addressed in the "current release" (as of a few months ago). So we upgraded, but then we still had the problem. I asked about it again on this list (a couple of months ago), but have never gotten a response. Our work-around (not really a solution) has been to disable the "done-jobs" feature; that seems to make it behave better. But then, we lose that feature. :( Regards, -Dan -- Daniel E.
