[Rick Quatro]

Hi Lea,

 

I have seen the same behavior with FrameMaker 7.2 and 8 with Windows 7.

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
