Unwanted re-ordering of files in booked publications

[rebecca officer]

Hi Rob

I was building a heap of files into a large book today, and saw some of the files go out of order in the book. Mostly I'd have just assumed I'd carelessly dragged them, but your email prompted me to look a bit more closely.

FM7.0, fully patched, XP SP 2.

I found that I can reliably make a file move within today's book by renaming another file in the book, from the book window. If I rename something and end the renaming by pressing the Enter key, all is well. But if I end the renaming by clicking on another filename in the book, the file I clicked on moves within the book, at the end of FM's rename and save process. The file I renamed stays in place. Weird. And very annoying - my instinct is to end the renaming by clicking somewhere.

Even more annoying, I tried it on a 4-file book and it didn't happen. So it's reproducable within my 54-file book, but not within the shorter one.  I'm still calling it a bug.

Cheers, Rebecca

Hi Rob:

I've had the same problem but it's because when I open a file by 
double-clicking on it, I accidentally move the mouse and drag it below the 
following file. It doesn't take more than a little movement sometimes. 
It's not clear to me whether the same thing is happening to you; are they 
only shifting when you save the book?

I have the same version of FrameMaker and the same operating system as 
you.
