Hi Chris,

This is a problem with AVS/Express tooltips under X. It is hopefully fixed in 
Version 7.3 of Express, whereas this runtime is built under 7.2.1. By early 
next week I will get a new release out for you to download and test.

Regards,
Louise

Hi,

Just popped back to check when the bug-fix version will be released - The 
packages available don't seem to have been updated since your response.

regards

Chris

Hi,

thanks for the update and your ongoing help! I've installed the latest version 
(64bit) and run some testing files through it. Things seem better. I've 
requested the post-doc who raised the issue to test further, as I'm no expert 
with the software and he'll be able to break it easier and in more interesting 
ways than I can! I'll feedback when I hear more.

Chris
