[Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

[Michael Lewis]

I blush to admit that I am still using FM 7. I used it professionally 
for a long time, and produced many technical and academic texts with it, 
despite the hassles of getting colleagues to deal with PDF commenting; 
but as a retired person I don't need and can't justify any upgrade. 
Anyway, the point is that only under Win 10 (which I hate for many other 
reasons) do I have this problem: if I hold down the left mouse button 
for anything that FM apparently considers "too long", FM freezes. I'm 
trying to train myself to use the cursor keys more than I used to, but 
it's still a pain.

I don't expect Adobe to produce a fix for FM 7, but it would be 
interesting to see where the problem is coming from.
