Hi Lea,
I have seen the same behavior with FrameMaker 7.2 and 8 with Windows 7.

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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
