[GNC] Big problem GC 4.6 wiping history list? Mac OS Big Sur

[David H]

Same here no problems on both Macs running Big Sur.  No point in referring
us to your screenshot - remember as per John Ralls' reply it never made it
to the mailing list - in-line images don't work, you need to save it as a
file on your desktop and attach it to an email, that seems to work ok.
Also I think if you paste it into your email as the very last thing it will
also survive the journey :-)

Cheers David H.
