I have been offline for some months now, so please forgive me if these issues have already been dealt with.
I switched from 2011 to 2014.5 (on a new iMac running El Capitan) a few weeks ago, and have run into a number of problems. 1. When I use the Text tool to edit a text block on a page, I often have the problem that when I click inside the text, the insertion point does not move to the place in the text where I clicked. Instead, it often disappears, and the text block handle unchecks itself! Or else the insertion point moves to an invisible place farther up the page -- above the text block, not inside it. (It still edits the text if I proceed carefully, but it's difficult without proper visual feedback!) 2. Contrary to the User Guide, Command-Home and Command-End do not work in Page View to jump to the first or last page. 3. Sometimes when I change notes in Speedy Entry, the changes don't display, even when I redraw the screen! The only way I have found around this is to switch to Scroll View, then back to Page View, and then the changes appear. 4. Sometimes I have tried to edit a pre-existing crescendo or diminuendo hairpin in Smart Shape tool because it is too short. But when I try to lengthen it (by dragging the right end of the hairpin to the last beat of the bar, for example), instead of slowly stretching, the right end it jumps way past the margin and off the page! 5. Converting a 2011 score to 2014.5, I found that EPS graphics files placed on the title page (to show special notation such as snap pizzicato) would not display. All that showed inside the graphics rectangle was part of the word "embedded." I worked around this by converting the graphics files to PDFs, which do display properly. Does Finale no longer display EPS graphics properly? I would appreciate knowing if anyone has had similar problems, or solutions! Thanks.
