I never suggested you were. I was actually agreeing with your claim
that it doesn't seem to be anything else in the context menu. Unless
there is an interaction with WinZip, but that seems unlikely given the
widespread use that Winzip gets.

It isn't an absurd request and I didn't ask you to prove anything, I'm
just asking the question to the list in general because I don't know
the answer. However it is entirely possible that a video driver
doesn't implement a feature correctly. Does NVidia have an updated
driver on its site?

The point is that there are thousands of TSVN users and only a handful
are seeing this problem, so there must be something different in
your/their systems. None of the developers here see it, so the only
possible way to find out what is happening is to ask the people who do
see it to try to find out what is different about their system that
provokes this problem. I'm not even saying it isn't TSVN, I'm just
looking for more information to track down the root cause. If it turns
out to be fixable in TSVN we will fix it. If it is caused by something
else we can advise others who see the same problem what they can do
about it. But at the moment we don't have that information. Your
screenshots are part of the tracking down process, so thanks for
those, but it doesn't get us to the finishing post.

Your attitude seems to be "Its is a TSVN bug, fix it". Our attitude is
"We don't know where the bug is because we can't reproduce it; you
can, so please help us track it down". If you are willing to keep
trying things out then great, we may get there (but no guarantees of
course). If not, then you will have to stick with 1.4 until someone
else is able to help find the cause.
