FM 9.0 bug/quirk/limitation?

[Spectrum Writing]

Ok,

 

To avoid a firestorm and using the word "bug" in the title, has anyone
noticed this annoying behavior in FM 9.0 ( all patched, Win 7, 64-bit just
to cover all bases).

 

Click in a paragraph style. Notice that in the lower left hand corner of the
file/chapter display, you see the expected message:  Flow A: <style name>.

Open the Paragraph Designer and  modify the style.

Save the file.

Now look at the message: Frame ID <#> and no matter where you click in the
file, even outside of the flow, this message stays there! The only way that
you can get it to go away - close the file and reopen and click the in any
paragraph again and the message is as it should be.

 

Very, very annoying when you're modifying/updating styles during template
creation. I thought this issue had been "fixed" in earlier versions of FM.
(Didn't it start in Version 7.2, I think?)
