I'm on a mission. But, I'd love it if you or anyone else is willing to try
some of the same tests I'm doing and see if you get the same, or different,

Keep at it, Dave, and let us know your results.
When I get my laptop back (hopefully within the next few days), I can try
some things if you'd like me to.
Thanks for all the time and effort you are putting into this.
