Some more things: * I often lose my cursor in the edit box. It's logically there and I can edit, but I can't see it at all. I'm on the latest Firefox 2.0.0.11 for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) * I pasted in a large amount of text, edited and saved. When I went to decode it, JavaScript barfed: "Codegroup data truncated. Attempted decoding with data received." Then the page said: "Bad passkey or corrupted data. Please try again." I tried my password a few times, but no luck. The text is lost to me. I've tried to recreate it with a smaller set of non-sensitive data, but no luck. So all I can offer are clues: * I first took an existing "swiki" file and copied it to another directory, renaming it in the process. * It was 87 lines of text pasted from an editor. * There were lots of tabs in each line and a variety of characters. Since the data ultimately came from Excel there could have been non-ASCII characters. This last problem makes me nervous about storing my data with it.
