Christoph:

    Thank you for the explanation.

    I note before that I *think* that if one begins by clicking a *lower 
visible* mname, then further clicking in the bottom regions seems to work 
(but now, I'm tired and confused and don't really know)

    -- maybe, I should just give up on Chrome :)

Thanks again,
