I use mac 2k2b on a G3/233 Powerbook running OS 8.6 and I can't recreate the problem and recently finished a good sized project in which I don't recall seeing the problem. I did, however, find a different, fairly minor bug which I haven't noticed being mentioned on this list. For reporting purposes I'd be interested in knowing if it's still around in 2k3. I guess someone could currentl check finwin but I know I'll have to wait until somebody receives the new Mac version (I'm not planning on ordering it right now.) Here's how to create the bug: 1. Open a template with multiple systems on the same page and with spacing such as the above mentioned "Piano Grand Staff" and go to page view. 2. Move at least one measure to an adjacent system on the page. 3. Select the speedy tool and undo the measure move. Click on the measure that had moved to a different system. That speedy window will open in the position of the measure before undoing everything. The problem seems to be created by undoing a measure position from one system to another while the speedy tool is selected.
