Hi Richard, I hadn't thought of checking top---'i'll do it next time it happens. All I can say it's not stuck on the disk- and the rest of the system does not seem to be affected. And yes, I do have the TOC list open---I always keep it open when I write. No other panes are open. I'll file a provisional bug report on bugzilla in the meanwhile.
