Can you try with the latest nightly and a new profile?

tried it: and the problem seemed to go away. upn installing my usual set of
extensions the problem returned...

i think the bug arises upon installing either all-in-one-gestures or
quickmanager extensions

Marking invalid. Bugs that only occur when an extension is installed is a bug
with the extension, not Firebird itself.

If you can isolate which extension(s) it is that cause the problem (it could be
a combination of two extensions), I recommend you contact the creator of the
problem extension(s) with a bug report.
