Sometime during the past few weeks, something strange happend with my
selection service. The first I noticed, all my selections, instead of
being in reverse video, came out on the screen as underlines, and I
couldn't "Get" them. I never use secondary selections, but I gather that
is what I was getting. I ended up rebooting my machine and it went back
to normal. A good experiment would have been to just kill the selection
service process and start it up again, but I didn't think of it in time.
Anyway, now I have in the lower-left corner of one of my windows (always
the same one, a full-height shelltool I use most of the time) an
underscore. Whatever character is in the lower-left corner is underlined.
It doesn't seem to bother anything, but it is annoying. I had been
playing with defaultsedit, so it's obvious that I must have changed
something, but I can't figure out what. Any guesses which option I might
have toggled?

(type 3 keyboard) Hope this helps.
