All browsers I've tried are behaving this way. Firefox, IE, Mozilla 
1.8... Could be something on the server side? I am running on Redhat 7.3 
with Fedora legacy patches - not exactly up to date! I'll re-investigate 
on my side and report on my findings later.

I didn't edit the scenario, I just modified the config from wwsympa... 
restarted several times with same results everytime. This is the most 
important for us.
