Thanks Mike, Your feed back is really appreciated, as well as your patience in running through the labs so many times to troubleshoot! I will look at chapter 4(8) and chapter 6(1). As usual I am bending the rules a little in the way that I am using PREPARE in the lab in order to generate multiple jig displays. I will take a look at this in case it may be a source of the problem.
In response to your earlier observations: 0) I must learn to take my Mac centric goggles off. I will update the lab to indicate that 'when windows are no longer needed, you can close them to reduce on screen clutter' 1) The resizing that I was referring to, was through the radio buttons on the side for magnification. I'll come up with a way to make this more clear. 2) The off-centre display is a result of providing room for the tooltips to display in the negative space. In SVG the tooltips are there all the time (they are just invisible). All the hover is doing is changing the opacity of the message. There were a number of compromises that I had to make to allow the tooltips to appear without overlapping the results and the off centre was one of those. 3) That sounds as if it is a consequence of the character width. Unfortunately, I don't have a windows machine to test on. My guess is that if you created even longer numbers then they would extend further beyond the box proportionately. The only other area that would be interesting to check is whether the Session Font size for the J display (under the Edit menu in jqt) has an effect on this behaviour. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.
