You seemed to have nailed it! Notes is off my panel now. > Apologetically, of course! Many thanks for your efforts! The Notes causes this problem. However the Notes widget can remain in panel. I discovered that in a "pathological" state when I click the widget and the windows opens I click right hand side mouse button to open the Notes menu and click "Speak Text", then error message appears "Starting Jovie Text-to-Speech Service Failed" and panel returns to the "healthy" state again. This procedure is probably necessary after each use of Notes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
