Thanks very much for the input Mason.  As you say, sometimes this bug
(from here on, I'll call it the select-hang bug) shows up, but is hard
to reproduce.  I seem to have managed to get into a state where it
happens all the time - maybe it is a good thing and we can get to the
bottom of it.

As to the auto-argument-display, yes this is a known issue - its been
like that since I checked that code in.  So far it is in my "works
well enough" pile, but it can be a little disconcerting :)

Cheers
Brad
