The dlialogue that pops up after one copies by crl-c a file from one
browser window to another by ctrl-v. The one with the slider bar indicating

I don't know what that means, but I think the answer to this question goes

the version (16.04) in the title of this email.

Was trying this stuff but the problem fixed itself. Maybe if (when) it
happens again, I can try it then.

Thanks for your help - it is appreciated.

I cut code. I'll cut your code at an intensity and from a place of my own
choosing.
Dislocation is a notion which is going to have to be accepted by my
employer.
