Dear friends,
Maybe this is also related to the problems I encountered in 
certain canvas actions (as reported to the ROOT team) on
windows98 when I updated from 2.22/10 to 2.23/12.
These problems however were not encountered on WindowsNT.

                                          Cheers,
                                           Nick.
