Ah, yes. Thank you for that! I shall have a go next time I get into trouble. I know I once, in desperation, traced a hung Quill with Jmon and found a spot that looked auspicious. I took a different branch than the one it wanted to go and presto! Quill just worked again, allowing me to save my work. Im not sure where I was or what I did, except that it took some time to figure out, and Ive not found it again since!
