Right, since I moved from a single account to allowing multiples, I had
to change the format of the config for that item.

Yes, I've seen this as well.  For some reason, this only manifests
itself on windows, and has me completely perplexed.  So, it's a known
issue, I'm just not sure how to fix it yet.

This is probably related to the weird window width craziness, but if you
could capture a log of it happening, that would be helpful.  I don't see
it in my environment, but since it's already a bizarre issue, it doesn't
surprise me.

Yes, that's true.  I key the list off of the server name.  I can change
that to using the server name and username.  This would allow multiple
accounts at a single server, but not allow you to check the same account
twice, which I think is reasonable.

Yeah, thanks for that recognition :D
