Chris,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried what you suggested without the
addition of starting it offline. Good idea.... will try that the next
time.
I created a bug report :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570294
and have received a response from Akhil Laddha that version 2.24.4 may
solve the problem.
I am running 2.24.3. I'll be looking for 2.24.4 to hit the
repositories.
