What happens when you turn off the options View > Options and then deactivate the Display Graphics radio button in the Display section of the resulting dialog box? While not optimal, since the graphics will now be invisible, it seems that would allow editing the documents without the irritating behavior you describe.
I have not experienced this problem, BTW.

People with FM11 have reported the usual problems.

I believe this has something to do with protecting against viruses. FM does not like this. For example, when an image is imported into a FM document using the X: path, the image blinks in the FM document, as if FM continually updates the definition of X: and the image path becomes momentarily unknown and then becomes known (and so the blinking where the image is displayed and then appears in gray and so on). Now I realize that some cross-references to other FM documents contain X: in the target document path. FM does not like that either. May crash because of this. Our IT guy says that the X: cannot be removed (same profile for all). My team of tech writers usually uses a shortcut (defined correctly from \\Server <file:///\\Server> ) to open books/documents but someone always forgets. I now have scripts that check the path for x-refs and images imported by reference. Does anyone know if this problem exists in later versions of FM (10 or 11)? That would solve this problem once and for all.
