> I often have lots of dialog boxes open (e.g. paragraph/character designer, marker window), and I do not notice anything special. Specifically jumping around with the insertion mark or selecting text is fast.

I would suggest doing some testing to see if you see what I just saw ... I decided to try to duplicate what I was reading here. I have a fast Windows laptop and tested moving around a document with the arrow keys with, and without, the designer boxes open. Running FrameMaker 8, latest patch, on (recently loaded) Vista 32bit on a Dell Latitude 820 laptop, with a 2.16GHz Core Duo proc, 2GB of memory, fast 7200rpm drive. My results *definitely* confirmed that the cursor movement with the arrows is MUCH faster with the designer boxes not visible. Since I have a fast computer, I had only seen a bit of sluggishness in the past (I keep the Paragraph, Character and Table designer boxes open), but did not bother to track it down. However, the difference is sufficiently dramatic that I now plan to work with the designer dialog boxes closed! Not my preferred mode, fwiw, so I hope Adobe improves this issue. I attribute this sluggishness to the continuous "check and show the paragraph and character information" in the designer dialog boxes while the cursor is being moved around with the arrow keys - something needs to be speeded up here for sure!
