I have 2) and 3), plus have a Lenovo S10 that I haven't used in months
that appears (based on a GP and some research) to be susceptible to
this issue. In fact, I think I hit this issue and started using wl
oh so long ago (sorry!).

I'm away for the NA holiday, but I can try to verify I have 1) and
then poke at this on Sunday. I'll let you know.
