" The mismatching curtain speeds were talked about in this list before.

" OMer

  The "strip" doesn't have a hard edge.  It gradually (but quickly, if
you know what I mean) gets dark.  If this indeed does sound like the
mismatching curtain speeds...is it something that can happen intermittently?
Is there anything I can do about it?

  Thanks,
