   Darn!   
      
   I can't reproduce it, and I've never heard another report on this exact   
   problem.   
      
   Then again I'm 99% of the time on a Mac, so i don't really see NS 8 that   
   often.   
      
   Most of the people using 8 seem to pose questions on the Netscape   
   Community forums, you might try asking there:
