Framemaker 8, Windows 8.1 and click-and-drag

[Lea Rush]

Hi all,

I crossed my fingers that FM8 and Win8 would play together reasonably nicely. It's almost fine except for the above-referenced action: click-and-drag to highlight. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, FM freezes irreparably. I have to force it closed, and the autosave may or may not survive. Argh. I use click-and-drag much more often than I realized, and it's pretty much a dealbreaker.

I'm posting less asking for help and more as a warning for my fellow FM8 holdouts. I suspect that I'm going to end up using Remote Desktop to run my Win7 machine on which FM8 worked fine. Do not go unto Win8.1 with old Framemaker; there be monsters.

Lea
