Hi David,
I've encountered the same hanging issue when using the mouse to
select with FM 7.0 on Win 7 64-bit. Never had that problem with Win
XP either. My solution, when I need to use FM 7, is to "not do that"
as much as possible. I've pretty much trained myself to use keyboard
selection (and save a lot). My hands still mess up from time-to-time.
I've noticed that it happens more when you hesitate or pause a bit
longer during the mouse-drag selection. It usually works if you are
quick about it--but still not worth hanging with no .recover file if
you haven't saved recently.
I don't have this problem with FM 10 on Win 7 64-bit, and I've tried
it with a long pause during the drag just to be sure.
I don't minimize windows much (2 big displays), so I don't know about that.

I've seen the same thing when highlighting with a mouse with my
installation of FM 8 on Win 7 64-bit. I don't recall ever having
that problem in all the years I used FM 8 on Win XP.
I don't think this really fixed it, but I did find that I was
missing an update. I believe the latest version is 8.0p277. Make
sure you have that.
If you find a solution, please let us know.
I've not noticed the minimize window problem.
