Re: Framemaker 8, Windows 8.1 and click-and-drag

[Dave Reynolds]

Hi Lea and Rick Does it depend on how quickly you drag the cursor across the text? I'm using Frame 8 on Win 7 and I've had a few crashes when resizing an anchored frame down the page. I can't prove it, but I feel it might be to do with how quickly I drag the frame handle. So, if I now have to make an anchored frame a lot bigger, and drag the handle a long way down the page, I do it slowly. Seems to have worked so far.

It’s almost fine except for the above-referenced action: click-and-drag to highlight. It doesn’t always happen, but when it does, FM freezes irreparably. I have to force it closed, and the autosave may or may not survive. Argh. I use click-and-drag much more often than I realized, and it’s pretty much a dealbreaker.   I’m posting less asking for help and more as a warning for my fellow FM8 holdouts. I suspect that I’m going to end up using Remote Desktop to run my Win7 machine on which FM8 worked fine. Do not go unto Win8.1 with old Framemaker; there be monsters.   Lea   _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as dave.reyno...@taitradio.com.
