They show remarkable forebearance in the face of such amusingly OTT accusations. > I don't see why those words should inflame anyone who does not work for RL. I admit to being somewhat inflamed - although only in the same way as I would be inflamed by a parent insisting on allowing a screaming toddler to run around a café at which I'm trying to have a pleasant cup of coffee. > I might be wrong, but it seems to me that RL is now trying to implement a new > degree of unicode support and that RL knew - or should have known - in advance > that users could lose characters in consequence of the partial implementation > of unicode in the Microed. I really must stress yet again that software developers are generally not in the habit of releasing code they know to be buggy - "OK, people. Here's the latest. We know there are x, y and z bugs, but we really couldn't be bothered to fix 'em" is a scenario I've only ever seen once... immediately before I fired the programmer in question. It doesn't reflect well on them and it doesn't give them a warm fuzzy glow of satisfaction. I have absolutely no doubt that the release of this bug was entirely unforeseen - other than the common-sense rule we all apply when loading a new beta, being that any area which has recently received attention (as noted in the build documentation) is not the same as it was in the previous build and therefore may behave differently. This is happening so randomly that it's entirely possible they could test for days and never encounter the issue. In this regard, they very definitely need the help of a good beta test team with a variety of hardware and software configurations, and varied ideoms in terms of their TB usage. I'd take you much more seriously as a member of that team (especially since you say this bug is of paramount importance to you) if you would be so kind as to add a detailed and constructive note to <http://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=4904> providing your config and the circumstances in which you have encountered the problem. Good solid factual evidence provided by us will greatly assist RL in their quest to corner this little bug and exterminate it. Whining will not. -- Groetjes Natasha The Bat! 3.51.4 Pro on Windows XP Pro 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
