Hi Stuart,

This happens because I forgot to tell you that the multi-display is a bit
flaky and has not been really pounded on much. Sorry, I should have mentioned 
that.
Maybe go for a skin approach first. I could put one together for you if you'd 
like.
Do you want a 2 column by 3 row (or 3 column by 2 row?) skin?

We will tighten up the multi-display this fall.
