Re: weird enlightenment behavior after upgrade to Freebsd 14

Ah! That explains it! I've tried it on two different systems this week 
with similar results, I have a workaround in place at ten moment, If I 
get a chance I'll give that method a shot, otherwise I can certainly 
wait for updates to be pushed to packages/ports. Thanks so much for your 
response.

Take care!
