Huh? That's not a bug you've been mentioning!

I think the tech support guy could be refering to the file-overwrite bug 
rather than the text block bug.
Seeing this from a purely technical perspective, I personally think the 
file-overwrite bug can be very difficult to track down in a release 
version of Finale unless you don't provide extremely good clues 
(such as: how do you switch documents? With what method were 
the files opened? What did you do prior to the file overwrite? Which 
tools did you use? Did you use any plug-ins prior to the file 
overwrite? etc etc). Of course, sending a step-by-step list of how the 
bug is reproduced would be the ideal.
Please remember that there's always a cause to why a bug occurs 
(like a certain user action or a sequence of actions), although it 
might "feel" like it happens randomly. This often explains why some 
persons are bitten by some bugs, why others don't.
Anyway, it should be _much_ easier to track this down in the beta 
"debug" builds (to the Mac beta testers on this list). 


Best regards,
