Did upgrading to 1.7.4 fix this issue?

I have had reports on similar issues on our Windows 7 lab computers (with=20
1.7.1 and maybe 1.7.2). After upgrading to 1.7.3 I have not heard of this=20
but that might not mean that the issue is gone. I have never been able to=20
replicate it myself though. This and the next week we will upgrade to=20
1.7.4 and hope that it will perform even better.
