not seeing this on OSX. Sounds like a Linux bug.

Hi Peter I could actually not reproduce that. Could you please screencast it so that I can double-check I do exactly what you're telling me to do?

Is this here maybe related? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1513305

I bet that it's tied to KDE.

Preferences > General where there is also a Combo and Text field.

Hi Peter I'm running FC16 with cinnamon (GTK based). I definitely cant reproduce what you show in your screencast. I bet that it's tied to KDE.
