[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1249843, member: 45350"] This is interesting in that they seem to have come up with a preventative even though the cause is unknown at this point. FROM John McGhie on Apr 10th 2011: Hi Tom: This is not really a good place to vent one's spleen, we're just fellow users trying to help each other out, in here. I realise the clatter of black helicopters in here is deafening, but this is simply a small, rare bug that slipped through because it's so rare it never showed up in testing or the beta program. It's probably a one-line-of-code change. The problem is that we can't FIND it. We still have no idea of the cause, so we don't know what to fix. In the meantime, as Julie says, it does not seem to happen if you log out of your computer at the end of each day, and re-start it once a week. Closing the laptop lid (sleeping the OS) is not enough: you have to log out, so the OS can run its housekeeping tasks. If you do, chances are you will never see the bug: I have never seen it, and I do long complex documents for a living. Cheers" EDIT: The last post I found on this issue was from Jun 1st 2011, as of that post they still hadn't determined the cause or ultimate soloution [/QUOTE]
