I haven't done a lot with the PPA / repositories  --- I've just sort of cut and
pasted command line stuff from some betty crocker web pages as I've needed them,
so I don't know which ones I'm plugged into and which ones are "the normal
ones".

I'm presuming that I need to do more than just a simple "sudo apt-get upgrade",
since I've done that a few times in recent memory, and it looks like I'm still
lagging behind you, Speedy.

Mint 19.3 is scheduled for December.  Maybe I'll figure out how to install that
and see if it fixes some things...

With regard to QTPOV-Ray:  I find that - too often - I'm doing something that
pastes a bit of copied text into my scene in what looks like random places.
Maybe I'm clicking a mouse button or using a keystroke when I'm actually in the
editor but I think I'm in the browser window or the system's text editor...
But I was wondering if any such thing ever happened to you.
I'm forever scratching my head, wondering "How did THAT get in there...?"
That mouse-click-paste is a dangerously easy thing to inadvertently do.
Can I disable?

My terminal typeface has that nice "dotted zero", but my GUI typeface seems to
use one that makes it look too much like O.  :|

Ever since I tried using Redshift to relieve some eye strain and it took me
forever to shut it off (I think I resorted to ps, grep, and "kill -9 [pid]"  :D
) I haven't fiddled with the greebles and frobs much...
