I won't say for certain, but I think things improved for me when I
installed the iframe patch from the original dxr3 plugin.   (Before I
applied it I could not cut recordings, after I could although
occasionally still, ff etc don't work.  Only occasionally - mostly it
works.)

Any comments Christian?  (Or any of the other 'old' plugin developers?)
