Hi
Yes, I got the same result with Mozilla 1.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
but how serious is the inconvenience? After clicking on
''arrows'' and
going nowhere, it is a matter of a second or two to back out to the
search panel, type in arrows and you are there.
OK, it''s not perfect, but who is?
