You name it. Partial start-up, (some missing buttons sometimes), locks up
when using it locally to verify
new html, (stops responding and will not re-write the screen when dialogs are

random changes of background color
in mail documents (even plain text). Shall I continue??? I don't recall this
stuff happening on the other (evil :-))port
of Netscape.
