Here's the way to at least TEMPORARILY eliminate it. Open your USER.LAY file in your favorite text editor (Notepad will suffice), which is in your user directory, where USER is the name of your user. Find ALL lines that contain the text "customize_board=" and DELETE THEM ENTIRELY. There should be about five or six of them in all. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure that I've spelled the text correctly, but the entry should be SOMETHING like that (I'm at home and I haven't installed it here -- if I'm wrong I'll correct myself tomorrow). After deleting those lines, save the file and try running the program and loading your user again. That should fix the problem. HOWEVER, due to the nature of the bug, explicitly loading any OTHER layout MIGHT cause it to occur again. So, beware.... jm
