One other minor point - it seems a bit clunky to have to go through the queue system to install / update one or a couple of rpms ... I can see the benefir of it - but why not have 'update selected', or 'install selected' button on the relevant sections as well as 'add to queue' ??? Regards Lance

I tried again - it is after clicking on the 'File' bar atthe top so it has a ^ in it - so it is trying to order the list - not sure how though and it is quite disconcerting when the one you select moves ... Now i can reproduce it, i try to solve it.
