When I clicked on the icons to arrange the mosaic on my test collection, the icons floated around the window nowhere near the mouse pointer. And the finished collection never showed up, even though everything looked fine. Firefox seems just fine, though.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
