I have been monitoring the group and have not seen any response to this serious problem. It is happening all the time in all kinds of applications under Windows. It is worse in Win 95 than in NT but it occurs there as well.

So it is not just driving you crazy.

Because of the nature of this problem your application may seem to be running ok but after a while it or some other application will break down or beginning to behave funny.
