[Genome] Clear button

[Brooke Rhead]

Hi Rosemary,

Thank you for the compliment on BLAT.  One of our engineers has 
identified the cause of the inconsistent behavior of the clear button 
and is working on a fix.  The fix will likely be included in our next 
code update, which occurs on a two-week cycle.  If you still see the 
problem two to three weeks from now, please let us know.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
