Yes, your understanding is correct.  My bloda spectrum hasn't
changed since 1.7.10 and is pretty well in hand.  When the problem first
appeared in 1.7.10 and I posted about it, a few days later I got a
suggestion to try the latest 1.7.11s snapshot and see if that fixed it.
 It did, I haven't had the problem since until 1.7.15 and 1.7.16s.

This isn't a show stopper, especially since in this incantation it
doesn't happen all the time, however something isn't quite right...
Interesting the Cygwin X apps aggravate the problem.
