Thank you. Didn't remember having heard "frog's egg icon" before.

Took me a while to reproduce what you are talking about -- if in the
Frame one single-clicks *directly* within the greyed-activity icon
(the greying is the "highlight" that shows "the most recently viewed
activity"), nothing happens -- but if in the Frame one single-clicks
*directly* within a non-greyed icon for an activity, that is enough
to take one into that other activity.
That all makes sense to me. I think of those activity icons in the
Frame as "switching" icons - they allow one to switch between
activities. What *should* "switching from an activity to the same
activity" mean ?
The reason I hadn't noticed (from a zoomed screen) not being able to
single-click *directly* on the greyed-activity icon in the Frame was
because I normally use my external keyboard to navigate between
views (F4 takes me back). If I instead position the cursor on the
activity icons in the Frame, hovering it over the greyed-activity
icon gives me a drop-down menu - then by clicking on 'Resume' in
that menu I am taken out of the zoomed screen back into that
activity. [The only time this procedure does not work is with the
'Journal' icon, which does not have 'Resume' on its drop-down menu.]
Thanks, mikus
