Hi Bill,

I have XP Home, Dutch edition, with all the Service-packs. Since mouse is
involved: Logitech-compatible PS/2 (Wheelmouse).

As pointed out in an earlier message: "When I put my cursor above the
dividing line between the headers, I get a two-pointed cursor. It then seems
I can drag the line left or right, but
when I let go of the mouse-button, nothing happens. While dragging, I get a
line to indicate where I'm "coming from" and another one indicating where
I'm "going to". Interesting is that the first line (that indicates where I'm
"coming from") has remembered the position where it "thinks" the division
line was. That is, the previous location I let go of the mouse-button."

This is not only true for the columns in the Event-box (Event, Date, Place)
and the Children-box (Children, Sex, Birth) on the Summary-page, but for all
the columns on the other tabs in Individuals-View, Places-view,
Citations-view. I haven't checked the rest but I suppose it will be the
same.
Except the columns in Lists, here I can manually change the width.

Good luck with finding the problem. When you want more information about my
configuration, just ask.

Gr. Wim
