Can't say -- I think you might have to change font sizes or something. I've already exhausted what I know about this option. Others who have actually used it will have to answer this. > From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > To: Jason Rausch <[email protected]> > Cc: Xastir - APRS client software discussion <[email protected]>; > "Curt, WE7U" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, July 2, 2014 11:33 PM > Subject: Re: [Xastir] Window Sizing and Shortcuts > On Wed, Jul 02, 2014 at 08:10:19PM -0700, we recorded a bogon-computron > collision of the <[1][email protected]> flavor, containing: > > I forgot to mention the other change I noticed is the mouse pointer > > behavior.
