[Gay Alson]

Hi Shlomo,

Let me echo Carol's thanks to you. We've been experiencing this
irritating bug in 9.0 and had read that we could no longer manually
adjust tabs on the ruler but must do so in the Pgf Designer, which was
bothersome. Your workaround is a great time-saver. We've tested it
several times and it is solid. Now all we have to do is remember to
ensure that the Basic tab is active. ;~)

Thx,
Gay

Hi Shlomo,

So far, five people has responded to my email indicating that they, 
too, experience this problem with some regularity.  Neither they nor 
I have been able to identify any specific sequence that triggers the 
freeze. However, yours is the first information I've received that 
suggests a workaround. Like you, I know for sure that it freezes when 
I'm adjusting tab stops with the ruler. I will pay attention to what 
set of properties is displayed when the freeze happens. If I can 
avoid a freeze by keeping Basic properties on top, that would be very 
helpful. Thanks for the suggestion, Shlomo.

Carol
