Could you, perhaps, be a bit more specific?  Please give us a recipe, in
terms of keystrokes, for what you do, what you used to see happening, and

than "do not seem to know what's going on in other frames".  :-)

Yes, hopefully, just as soon as you tell us EXACTLY what has changed.

Have a great and fruitful afternoon!
