Hi Chuck,

I believe the trigger for the arrows not working in Speedy is when an autosave 
is triggered while a different application is in the foreground. The solution 
to this (and many other similar bugs in Fin2014) is to click in the menu bar. 
This restores focus to Finale — something that is supposed to happen when you 
switch back to Finale being the frontmost application. I've just gotten into 
the habit of always clicking in the titlebar whenever I switch back to Fin2014 
from a different app.

[This is a Mac-only issue as far as I know.]

Cheers,

- DJA
