I've seen that one too. I've also had repeated crashes when trying to delete variables from a Frame 7 template. It's done it several times. Prior to that, I can click on a variable name, but the confirmation dialog references a different one. I save a lot.

Re: Paragraph Designer Sticks in FM9
Am I correct in concluding that there are not yet patches to fix the keyboard shortcut bugs (F8 and F9 to assign character and paratags)? These are astounding bugs in what used to be a couple of the most useful tools in FM. Do any of the Adobe developers ever even bother to use their own software? Where was QC on this?? Right now I find myself in the sad position of using Word for documents I would normally do in FM. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the development of FM-9 was offshored?

I don't know if this will resolve your specific issue, but I find that I must reboot my computer at the end of the day every day; otherwise, FM (and other Adobe products) tend to act in weird and unpredictable ways.
