Michael, I am travelling and don't have access to my Apple Mac, I can try when I get back (5.11). I have a friend on Ubuntu and it worked for him. However I have just noticed I am running 8.0_72-b02 so I will try on 8.0_72-b05 later today and let you know if that changes anything Regards John Maton
