It's an artifact of the nonstandard, buggy UI Adobe layered on top of

And each subsequent release since Fm10 (including Fm2017) has crashed less than

What sort of glitches with condition text? I ask because (as previously

I wonder if this is related to the fact that I have to reboot before creating
the final condition settings for manuals.
If I don't, and I've been working hard in Frame for as little as 2-3 hours
beforehand, chances are there will be "glitches" with the conditional text.
This happens in Frame 12
Yep, I have posted to the list about this very problem. The only way I can

Yeah, pretty much what Robert said. Frame8 was the last version where the
keyboard shortcuts worked as intended all the time. Something about
instituting the new interface broke things.
As someone who used to use those shortcuts ALL THE TIME, it's annoying that
some don't work ever, and that they
Yes .. if Save As XML does what you need, by all means, use that since
it'll be easier. But if your processing requires more document data in
XML, you'll either need to set up a conversion and structure app, or use

have to say that is not path you want to follow.
The problem does sound like some sort of memory leak thing within FrameMaker

previous versions
Umm, if something is completed earlier than originally scheduled, the
completion date is moved *up*, (or moved forward, or advanced) not moved back.
Moving back means delaying or postponing.
