An interesting consequence of a typo. When the second
object is cut, the tabfolder received an FL_FREEMEM
event, instead of freeing the memory, it draws
the tabfolder (can anyone guess what the typo is). The window the
tabfolder appears in is somewhat random.

I too found independent arrow keys to be more convenient.
Don't remember from where, but I was under the impression that
some people got confused about that. I will consider making the arrows
keys independent of the grid again.
