Yes, the quantity of transactions is not a factor in causing the fault.  However,
clicking on any other transaction clears the condition, so I wanted to
reduce the possibility of that happening by accident.

Thanks, Dave, that's reassuring!

I've already tested a small fix, which seems to work, but as Cristian
wasn't able to reproduce the fault, that hasn't yet progressed.  It may
be that Cristian will want to dig deeper, however.

I'll now copy these emails to the bug.

Cheers and thanks again.
