Hey Chris, a blast from the past (remember the old Coherent newsgroups??) Well, From 1.0, or perhaps even earlier, up thru 2.0.whatever-todays-release is I've always had that issue. It's largely nothing more than a modest irritant since I can reopen the same page(s)/window(s) I had open before the crash. I'll probably take a look at version 3 one of these days, thanks for reminding me.
