i'm sure that it has been looked at, or will be (if someone
submits it to the bug-base).. but, obviously, it won't be
fixed in the version you're using ;-)

isn't the save command on the button bar? you could use that
in the meantime?

sorry to hear that, but it did work for someone else

and if the problems are fixed? you can always download the
free/30-day version and see if the problems you've been
having are sorted out and then choose at anytime to renew,
if you are so inclined too..

sounds like they broke something.. but hey, i'd like to see
any complex piece of software that's perfect.. at least the
RunRev team has a way of submitting bugs and they do follow
up on them (2 of mine have been resolved)..

yeah i can believe it, but runrev is not macromedia and even
the littlest thing will be looked at and they will attempt
to fix it (so long as they are aware of it)

did you bug report it? i know that sounds lame to keep
saying, but just b*tching about something and not using the
tools they offer won't get it resolved.. as for a cheap work
around now, why not take a screen cap of the button, make it
a graphic and then hide the button until the transition is
completed.. could work ;-)
