FM8 seems to be sluggish on my PC

[Reng, Winfried]

Hi,

I often have lots of dialog boxes open (e.g. paragraph/
character designer, marker window), and I do not notice
anything special. Specifically jumping around with the
insertion mark or selecting text is fast.

I have FM 8.0p277, 1 GB RAM, Windows 2000 Professional.

Therefore I do not think that dialog boxes in general
cause problems.

Best regards

Winfried
