When I Switch from Run to Pause (the global one, in the Status Bar), it only stays paused about ten seconds then it magically un-Pauses itself.

This hasn't been happening for long.

If I Pause Selected download fileset(s), that works correctly.

I did by mistake change (an I think unrelated) setting last week: I clicked the red toolbar button that Enables Automatic Shutdown. I've since successfully disabled that.

You probably accidentally turned on the scheduler. You can disable it again in the options.

Bingo! You're right, the scheduler I somehow (?) had turned on the scheduler. Whew!

It can be toggled by clicking in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Newsbin window. Second one from the right. You probably accidentally toggled it there. If you dwell your cursor over each of the elements, it'll tell you what they are.

Ah yes, I'm sure you're right, dexter. I often have just the Status Bar visible beneath my brower; I'll need to be more careful where I click to pull Newsbin to the front.

And hey, I hovered over everything...what does "Lock the display to prevent accidental changes" do?
(It doesn't appear to prevent that accidental change.)

That locks the display windows so you can't accidentally drag them around. It doesn't lock out any of the other options.

Cool, I'll use that, I like my display windows to stay as they are, thank you very much!
