Hi Dave. Many thanks for your generous insights and we certainly hope you will continue operating in the mode you describe below. The IDV & Unidata team greatly appreciate the discovery and reporting of these problems by our user community (i.e. crowd-sourcing bug discovery.) We will put these problems on the todo list and address them as quickly as possible given limited time and resources. Thanks again for your conscientious efforts! -Julien > > On Nov 9, 2010, at 12:41 PM, Unidata IDV Support wrote: > > > It looks like you have discovered a UI bug.
