I've never had any problem like this, and I have used Nvu off and on for
a couple years. Were you using the graphic mode? I have to admit that I
have never tried it in graphic mode. I've only used the text mode.

In windows I use an OLD program called HTMLed. It was originally written
for Windows 3 and updated to 95. As far as I know it was never updated
again after that. It might be a bit difficult to find, but it is still
out there.
