I think you might be right. I tried many sorts of things in the midst of the
recurring frustration. I can recall trying the menus as well, but I can't
remember for certain if this provided the solution. If it did, I probably
would have made a mental note of it.
I have just tried copying pasting very large pages, but I can't get the
'bug' to come up. I am using the highlight method. This might be something
that hits on certain days and certain occasions and then goes away for
reasons beyond my comprehension.
Thank you very much for the help.
