I burned/installed Flight4 and had the same problem.  Not sure about the 
latest daily build, however.  Since I rebooted for the first time in eight 
days (yesterday) I don't know if that'll be a continuing prb or not... but 
I'm going to have to reboot, again, to see if a tweak I added will help 
something else.  I'll say [unofficially SOLVED] unless something it doesn't 
work after reboot.
