--- Comment #3 from sabine <[email protected]> 2011-12-28 10:22:02 PST --- Hi, this is just a little add-on to my previous reply to your last email. As I did loose my personalization files a few times because of crashes or whatever, and I had to personalize again, I also may have chosen slightly different characters, which also did the job. The problem stated in my previous mail is real, and serious! I may be somewhat ignorant but I have many degrees and I am not THAT STUPID! I have been using Linux, not because it is free of charge, but because I prefer it to Windows and Mac. I have also been using OpenOffice and now Libre-office because I like it better. However, bugs, and missing functions, make life hell for everybody. So, thank you again for trying to make this into a useful and reliable product. In the future, I may not be able to go with beta versions any longer, as they have been more unstable and more of a liability in recent times, I also had to consider going back to Windows, which I do not really want to do. Please deal with this latest issue, most likely at the heart of all the problems.
