I've just had a play and you are right Dave.

Start it, minimise it and the splash screen stays there doing nothing.

The splash screen has a timer that is called during Windows "OnIdle"
calls.

If the app is minimised these OnIdle calls never happen, so the splash
screen never times out.

Definitely time to change the silly splash screen class :)

This will be fixed in the upcoming 2.10 release.

Good man! This latest release 2.9.15 has fixed one litle niggle, I like
to drag the Outbox and Filter bars onto the same row as the toolbar and
occasionally they would jump down underneath now they seem stable and
stay put. Thanks.

OK - I see it's not all the time - so hard to predictably reproduce,
sorry! :)

Otherwise, nice work on the update version - still the best newsreader
out there! :)
