Hi Sther,
My toolbar is showing, so that is probably a factor for sure. I don't
normally hide the toolbar.
Like I said, when I first installed, Lion, the option-command-l would not
work at all to show the downloads window. I had to use an Apple Script toggle
to get it to work. However, someone pointed out to me a few months ago that
the shortcut was suddenly working again. When I then tried it, I suddenly was
having success. So, I assume the toolbar might be a factor now.
Take Care
