Thanks for the reply Kovid.
I dont have an asterix as you can see from the screen shot attached. It is showing that I am only running 0.8.56 however as per my original post it seems that I am running at least 0.8.6.
I don't recall 'doing anything' that would have changed settings apart from whatever is accessible via preferences.
Hope you are able to point me in the right direction
Cheers
