No is flaming the list here. I am just frustrated that it seems that they replaced a working app with a non working one purely for the sake of upgrade. From the few non-flame reponses I have gotten, it seems that the bug in this app was reported but the new version of the app was still put in.
I would like to help by testing. I don't know how to get involved...perhaps someone can can direct me. Some things I cannot do are download every beta version of Mandrake and install but I can test apps. My point here is that some of us are merely posting to the list to see if other people have this bug as well or if it's just my setup and we get told to go to the beginner list instead of someone taking the time to see if the app in question works on their machine.
