It did not happen at the time of 6.3-release. It came later. However I'm not using that old machine much, so I tried a couple of snaps in the months to follow in hope that it would just go away.... Now I finally realised it's not going away and found time to report this. It might have been like a month after you went to -current again when I installed the first snap with this problem...? Sorry! I don't know any better. If there's any more info I can provide you must hold my hands.
