I have tried 1.4.3 on Mac PowerPC, Mac Intel, and Windows XP, and I have

concerned.
I am writing a book with more than 200 pages so far, and I have found
the scrolling problems in 1.4.3 to be a limiting factor. I also have
trouble with placing the cursor at certain locations in the equations
with mouse clicks -- sometimes 1.4.3 refuses to place the cursor where I
need it. I have reported the mouse click bug on the wiki, but it has
not been addressed yet. The scrolling problem has been sporadically
reported on this list, but it doesn't appear that everyone experiences
it, so I don't know if it is being fixed.
Hello Gerard,
When/if you have time, it would be nice if you test the development
version that will become 1.5.0 and report on what could be improved. Now
is really the time to do so and we will appreciate your help greatly. In
principle, the remaining slowness on Mac in the SVN version should not
be depending on the length of the document.
That being said, as Georg said, 1.4.4 will probably offer you some speed
improvement.
Abdel.
