Will do that... I'll have to sort out that change from another, i think (was fighting with the Learning Mode window that kept causing weird things with focus and Alt+Tab behavior -- I ended up just turning off the "Show shortcuts used" - once I realized that created a ghost window that kept interfering with focus, while itself remaining invisible.... I think I bundled that changed with the tooltips change in my local commits, but I will sort it out and send the patch) > Richard
