I'm a long-term member (30+ years) of a private conferencing network in the UK. It
was one of our members (many of whom are IT professionals) who noticed the problem
and decided to investigate it thoroughly. He guessed it was a problem with Office
briefly losing focus so disabled any background programs one by one until he found
that Dropbox was the culprit. He then went through all its settings until he found
the one that stopped it! :^)

That's interesting - thanks. When did he discover it? I only experienced
the problem very recently when Dropbox automatically updated itself -
but it sounds from what you say that it could have been an issue for
much longer than that.
