Paragraph Designer Sticks in FM9

[Whites]

Am I correct in concluding that there are not yet patches to fix the  
keyboard shortcut bugs (F8 and F9 to assign character and paratags)?  
These are astounding bugs in what used to be a couple of the most  
useful tools in FM.  Do any of the Adobe developers ever even bother  
to use their own software?  Where was QC on this??

Right now I find myself in the sad position of using Word for  
documents I would normally do in FM.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the development of FM-9  
was offshored?
