I've noticed some bizarre things about simply having multiple documents open at one time (WinFin2K3). It seems that sometimes the title bar gives the wrong name for the document, displaying the name of one of the other documents that happens to be open at the same time. Also, I somehow got into a situation where the list of documents on the Window menu was disabled. That is, all the documents were listed, but I couldn't switch between them with the Window menu. However, Ctrl-F6 still worked. Another thing that is a problem: when you have only one document open, sometimes the CLOSE button for that one document simply does not work, though the CLOSE command on the FILE menu *does* work. So, it seems to me there is something really screwed up either with the Multi-document-interface implementation, or with the management of the temp files. That brings up another thing: for a long time now (since WinFin97) Finale has been a very poor Windows "citizen" in terms of cleaning up after itself. That is, it never seems to delete its temp files, so I periodically have to clean out my TEMP folder. Can anyone else confirm any of these problems? If so, I'll try to put together bug reports for Coda (or whatever they call themselves these days -- I never stopped calling Borland "Borland," which turns out to have been a wise move as they ended up as Borland again). -- David W.
