A little less confusion, a little more annoyance.


I have been doing some experiments with a completely clean install of a recently downloaded
copy of BlackBox, apart from the module below.


I have been using the correct keyboard shortcut <Ctrl><Break>.


On my work Windows XP machine, which I use for emails and little else, it works almost completely reliably (today!).


On my Windows XP-64 machine, which I normally use with BlackBox, it never works.


Does this make sense to anyone; is there a fix?



Thanks

Robert
