I'm not keeping it open - certainly not since it was originally created 
in March 2021 - it's certainly possible I kept it open across a few 
restarts when I originally created it, but I can't remember.  I have 
recently posted it and unposted it in the hope that might help to 
'loosen' things up, but it hasn't.
