Quote: Which, at this point, is merely a coincidence
I doubt it. I battled for two weeks to resolve the issue, and it suddenly disappeared when I got rid of DropBox. There is no way I am re-installing DropBox just to prove my point. I have a perfect setup at the moment and I am not going to ruin it!

Gawd I hate it when that happens!
I had it with a GEC4070 FORTRAN compiler where if an IF was the first line of a subroutine and you increased the value of the same variable in the succeeding line by two it subtracted instead. Needless to say, adding PRINT statements fixed the problem, so my (young at the time) brain started twisting itself in knots...
Took me a couple of days to go to the Ops staff with proof and be told "yeah, we know about that one". B*st*rds!

Oh my! You've brought back memories!
An instrument controller wasn't incrementing quite right, but in the debug mode I could see that it was. Drove me crazy until I learned to throw the nooptimize switch on the (FORTRAN) compiler.
But it was the print statement remark that really set the memory cascade: I seeded the odd empty print statement a bunch of times to get code to work, learning this when I put in print lines for intermediate values: things suddenly worked. Appropriate trial-and-error.
Amazing how there can be such parallels in lives when, ultimately you turned to Gin and I to Single Malts. Go figure!

You could notify Piriform. Just a thought...

You are right. I will do so.

I tried to notify Piriform, but their website where issues are reported, is broken. In any case, my main concern in posting this, was to share it with CP users, in case it can help some of our fellow members.

My main concern would be letting Piriform know that there is a conflict between their software and Dropbox. My second concern would be to let CP and the world know. Getting the problem fixed is ALWAYS #1 priority for me, both in my professional and personal life.

When their web page where you report issues crashed when I tried to report the issue, I did sent send them an email. I have done all I feel obligated to do with regards to Piriform.

No, food-related headlines[^] are always true!

I've been lucky in that all 3 of mine aren't interested. Also they each got the same christmas present quite early on: 3 identical catnip kicker toys.

Really, now. If you didn't want the ornaments to be inspected then why did you hang them up to begin with? That's the trouble with people . . .
