it was working better [than 27.1] before 26.1 for certain.  but idk if
it was broken in 26.1.

it occurs frequently wihtout my brain making connections with the
conditions under which it occurs, but if i can i will try paying
attention to the conditions.  i know it occurs when i get an appt
notification and thus more than one window.

for some reason i keep hitting home, which is set to move point to
bob, but if at prompt [by chance?], then that just puts point at its
bol and then y and n will not work, which makes type-break confuse me
and require other-window, eol, etc.

if i can i will try setting the vars to short delays and -Q.  [i am
limited in computer use.]
