Hi Peter, as Craig wrote, it's best to upload the files to the bug tracker. I repeated what you described here in 1.2.4.1 and 1.2.5cvs without any problems. BTW, you don't need to create shapes as a coloured background. You can assign any background colour to a text frame in the properties palette, and you can also edit the shape of a text frame.
