Apparently the trail of shadows phenomenon has been fixed in F2K4. I
haven't yet used it enough to find out.
It has been fixed but in it's place there are new problems. For example when
working in Speedy and deleting some notes and then moving on to another
measure, the deleted notes
Edit -- yes, get to the text block in question -- no. You have to search
through the whole list and sometimes it is very long.
You can always edit text blocks without having to resort to memory or
squinting at an out-of-place location by going to the Text menu and
clicking on Edit Text...

(1) Although I'm not sure, but as an educated guess, I'd say that most of
Finale's bugs, kludges, and bad programming that infuriate Dennis have to
