 > but i don't think we noticed the characters were highlighted (yesterday,
 while the group of us was looking at the result of your testing) until
 _after_ we had played with many/most of the affected laptops in order to
 see if we could get more phantom characters.  which means we had switched
 screens some more times, which would have caused the highlighting.

 after the fact.

 They haven't been. Also, they were highlighted *before* a group of
 witnesses (you, etc.) even had a chance to to be shown "the bug in
 question" and touch those machines.
