This is a platform issue, not a Client issue - so moving over and triaging.

Randell -- Can you look at this?  NOTE: It appears to be a Linux-only issue.

Randell, can you try to reproduce this on Fedora?  Thanks

I saw something which *may* be this (Hello has changed some). I'll need to do more investigation.

My guess is an issue in the TabVideo source, and swapping one out for another, perhaps in the JS code.
