Frame 10 crashes and corruption

[Martinek, Carla]

A couple of us here at work are experiencing repeated Frame 10 crashes and file corruptions while doing *simple* tasks. It so bad that one writer is considering saving all of her work back down to FM9 format and returning to that.

Are others having the same problem?

We're on WinXP SP3 with FM10.0.1.402.

And, on a related note, although I'm sure the developers considered it a "feature" and not a "bug" that they introduced, I noticed that the sort order for para styles has been messed with.         Again.           NOW FM10 is sorting UPPERCASE letters prior to lowercase letters, whereas in FM9 it was lowercase then uppercase.

I and a few others fought this battle during the FM9 beta, and as a result the SymbolSortingBeforeAlphaNumeric=On/Off parameter was added to the maker.ini file so you could specify your preferred sort order (in FM8 and older, symbols sorted before alpha/numeric - in FM9, they had them sorting afterwards, unless you changed the parameter.)

Might not be a big issue to some people, but when you have shortcuts for the F8 and F9 keys built into your style names, it plays havoc with what styles are applied as compared to what you expect to be applied.
