Sorry, I'm retransmitting this for clarity because some of my text was 
inadvertently set as quoteback of another person's message, instead of as my 
own. I'm not sure what happened.

> And all the people who report bugs with Frame 9 are lying?

Lying? Who called anyone a liar? I didn't even say that FM9 was bug free. It 
isn't. I  merely commented that the FM team has made real changes that all 
users can take advantage of, rather than minor changes useful to only the 
DITA crowd.

I don't use text insets, so I'm not sure which issue you mention. There is a
known issue, where cross-references to text insets don't update, UNLESS you
first create the cross-ref marker in the inset SOURCE file. The correct
procedure to prevent this is in FM Help:


===

Insert a cross-reference to a paragraph in a text inset

If you insert a paragraph cross-reference to a text inset, the
cross-reference marker is sometimes lost when the text inset is updated. To
prevent the marker from being lost, first insert a cross-reference to the
paragraph in the text inset's source document.

1. Open the source of the inset by double-clicking the inset and then
clicking Open Source from the Text Inset Properties panel.

2. Insert a cross-reference to the paragraph anywhere in the source
document.

3. Delete the cross-reference text. The marker remains.

4. Save the source document, and then in the document that contains the text
inset, update the text inset by choosing Edit > Update References.

5. Insert a spot cross-reference, this time in the document that contains
the inset. The cross-reference uses the marker in the updated inset.

Again, I'm not sure what you mean, but is this the well-known issue where a
paragraph format carries over to the next paragraph if an inset anchor buts
up against the trailing paragraph mark? That is solved simply by putting a
space between the inset anchor and the trailing paragraph mark.
