Bad one this. I was on Alt-F1. I repeated process from 4.2->4.3->4.-STABLE. I can no longer recreate the problem. I can assure you what I saw was on Alt-F1, I don't use the other terms available when on console. The way I see it, if I'm on console, I'm in trouble! However, not now being able to reproduce this means I can hardly add further details at this time. Tough one. I know, can't recreate/repeat then usually can't fix.
