I can confirm the problem with the mouse pointer, but I can't say it bothers me - as soon as I move the mouse, the pointer is adjusted.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thank you. Nah, it doesn't bother me, as I mentioned I've seen it since ver. 3, I think; it is a small quirk. But now I know that it isn't me or my browser's setup.

OK, I tried the link thing again making sure the mouse did not move and I get the same result as you. Strange, but I'm not going to get too upset about it... I really never noticed it before. (It will probably now become an obsession I can no longer overlook :hairout: ).

About the Beeb videos: while they now appear to work correctly, I have noticed one slight stutter at the very start of each video. Have you?
Regards,
Paul

Yes, I can see a slight stutter the first seconds; it seems like the player doesn't buffer enough to start the videos, and then loads a bit again. Since most of their videos are short, a minute or two, you often get action within the first seconds, so to get a "seamless" view I sometimes stop and rewind (whatever streaming videos do :grin:).
