Try this (but remember to save your Hotlist first!): - Open the Hotlist window (which should contain a number of directories with items). - Open a directory and select or launch an item. - Close the Hotlist window. - Reopen the Hotlist window (this will not show anything selected). - Select an item (not the same as the one mentioned above and not from the same directory either). - Delete the selected item. The item disappears of course, but so does the item selected/launched earlier! This is perfectly repeatable with the 29 Apr 2005 11:00 and 28 Apr 2005 16:01 builds, but it was in earlier builds as well (I know because I was inexplicably losing Hotlist items - didn't recognize the pattern until today). The first item doesn't disappear if the directory containing it is opened before the second item is deleted, by the way (possibly because doing that clears a selection which - though invisible - is still present...).
