Joe, Actually, we are having trouble reproducing the bug here. We would like to try another experiment. First, download the new IDV http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp. Secondly, go to your home directory and move your .unidata out of the way (e.g., unidata.bak) directory. Run the IDV again. Do you still see the problem? Please keep us up-to-date on your progress. Best Wishes, Unidata IDV Support > Joe, > > It looks like we have a bona fide bug here. I'll keep you posted on our > progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.
