Cybmole, I grant you that there probably is a third factor involved, beyond just Winamp and Sigil. Otherwise, there would be more problem reports similar to mine.

But whatever it is that's unique, it's not all THAT unique. I'm running a pretty vanilla Windows 7 PC here. And out of all the software I use daily (and I use more than most), ONLY Sigil 0.7.2 is having problems. Even XnView - which I unfairly suspected mainly because, like Sigil, it's in long-term beta - runs like a charm. Whatever quirk of my setup you'd like to blame for the problems, XnView is smart enough to deal with it. Sigil 0.7.2 is not.

If I was the developer of Sigil, I think I'd want to understand why. Not just live in denial.
