 OS: Ubuntu 9.1

 Torbutton: v.1.2.3

 Firefox: v.3.5.7 (Ubuntu canonical - 1.0)

 Installed add-ons other than Torbutton:
 a) Refcontrol v.0.8.13 (set to <forge>)
 b) Ubuntu Firefox Modifications v.0.8


 Issue:
 After right-clicking on Torbutton > Preferences > OK > "You need to toggle
 Tor or restart for your setting to take effect" > OK;
 the started message keeps popping up.  If I only open and close Torbutton
 Prefences the messages window loads twice, requiring two
 clicks of "OK" then stops loading.  But, if I chagne settings in Prefeces
 the message window keeps re-loading after clicking OK,
 not just twice but dozens of time.  Attemping to toggle Torbutton does not
 help, it is locked becuase the message window keeps loading.
 I had to "xkill" Firefox and restart to end the message loading over and
 over again.

 P.S.  A "preview task" button would be great so one can review the task
 message before sending...
