[Users] Problem picking horizons

[Paul de Groot]

Dear David,

You are not doing anything wrong. Instead you are experiencing the 
flukes of the tracking system, which was released as a prototype. We 
know this prototype is not very stable but we decided to release it 
early to get feedback from our users. The prototype tracker that is 
released in the "developer's version" is much better than the one in the 
"latest stable release". (We regularly upgrade the developer's version 
and our current in-house version is again better than the released 
developer's version).

We intend to release the tracker officially in March. From the official 
release day onwards we will provide support on this functionality but 
until then please bear with us.

Best regards,

Paul de Groot.
