Hmm ok. I don't think I'm able to, unfortunately.

However, it probably isn't needed. I've just re-opened everything and everything behaved as expected.

So my current best thought is that I did something differently in at work this morning and in my current flu and bike related brain stupor forgot what that I'd done it.

Apologies for the racket.

-ramon.
