Yeah, it can be a problem.  Hard to be sure of the exact cause too, as
there are so many 3rd party utes here which also act directly on the *.SQD
files, although I have now eliminated everything else except squish.

So what else is new?  You surely didn't expect it to play up while you were
watching it, did you?  Try leaving the room first (I'm serious).  |-)

Nice doggie...
