Well, let's put this to bed. Thanks to those who responded; Eike at
least tried to help, his symptoms precisely match mine, thus confirming
it's a bug, despite the developer being unable to replicate it. Ah, well...

It's NOT a shit program; it's been happily fulfilling my needs for many
years (certainly since Wheezy); it sits unobtrusively in the system
tray, without much overhead. I'm not in the habit of running a
resource-hungry web browser all the time.

However, it no longer works, so must be consigned to the shit-heap.
Thanks, anyway
