Hello Fons,

I recognize the symptoms, I even recall having talked about it with Rui 
on his blog/forum (or maybe on a SourceForge tracker of one of his 
projects, probably Qtractor) but can't find anything back about it 
anymore. And yes, it's such an obvious issue that likewise I didn't 
bother either to report it.

Best,

Jeremy
