It is indeed. Note that 0.89 should appear in a few days and that it
fixes at least 3 commonly reported bugs:
- misplaced underlines in menus
- crash when pasting text in an xforms textfield
- crash when deleting a freshly inserted url inset
TC Zhao said that a 0.90 version will be done shortly after 0.89 to
fix bugs ound. This mean we'll have to report every bug we find in
0.89 as soon as possible.

I'm not sure whether the bug is in xforms or in the math panel. It
depends on what the xforms manual says :)
