In my case, using 1.3.4 on MacOS X (10.3.9), I am trying (experimentally) to do a single-sheet, double-sided, tri-fold newsletter issue. Everything is in place except the actual text. The graphics, masthead, and headline are in place and print fine. I even have the frame links in place (and they are visible) but, while typing in the article, I discovered that I couldn't get the text to flow into the second frame. I also discovered that at times, the text I was typing into the first frame was also showing up in the fifth frame. I have no idea why these oddities are happening, but I thought that the developers would like to know about it. If needed, I can send the file involved.
