Hi
I just found another bug in the FM9 UI. This is what I do:
1. Choose Format > Paragraphs > Catalog to display the Catalog.
I see two tabs in the Catalog: Para Catalog and Structure View.
2. Click the Structure View tag and move the Para Catalog around on my
screen.
3. Click the Para Catalog
Sounds like the paragraph tag catalog display is losing track of the top
layer context.

Hi RJ,
That's funny. I was going to mention that the gray interface is rather dull.

That's strange, Mike. I happen to like the book file about 2 inches wide
and just high enough to display the list of files, and placed in the upper
right corner of my screen. Out of the way, but available. FM8 and previous
