Hi Darcy, This worked for a while. Then the problem returned and would not respond to this solution. I am having serious navigation problems with 2014. It seems awfully buggy to me. Chuck Israels (360) 201-3434 Sent from my iPad On Apr 5, 2014, at 1:24 PM, Darcy James Argue

Hi Chuck, Did you try clicking in the whitespace of the menu bar? Clicking on an actual menu item doesn't solve the issue, the click needs to be in the whitespace. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On Apr 6, 2014, at 10:56 AM, Chuck Israels cisra...@comcast.net wrote:

Hi Darcy, No, I thought this was an issue related to Finale not being thefront app, so I clicked on the Finale icon in the dock - the usual solution for the runaway playback problem. I will try this - but perhaps others have found similar horizontal navigation problems with 2014 (nothing like

Hi Chuck, You need to click in Finale's menubar to resolve the Fin2014 focus issues — clicking the application icon does not work. Regarding scrolling, I haven't seen the problems you describe, but have you tried turning off inertial scrolling?

Hi Darcy, Just looked for this: From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. Choose Accessibility. Click the Mouse Options button. Got this far - and then In the Scrolling menu, choose without inertia. But there is no Scrolling Menu - so no place to turn off inertial scrolling. (OS 10.8.5)

Hi Chuck, Are you using a trackpad? If so, try clicking Trackpad Options. (Or maybe even try doing this regardless, as I think trackpad options also affects the scrolling surface on the Magic Mouse.) Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On Apr 6, 2014, at 2:30 PM, Chuck

Hi Chuck, I believe the trigger for the arrows not working in Speedy is when an autosave is triggered while a different application is in the foreground. The solution to this (and many other similar bugs in Fin2014) is to click in the menu bar. This restores focus to Finale — something that is

It really is a shame because 2014 is a good release in many respects. The Windows version has caused me relatively few problems, but this smart copy one is enough to drive one batty. I had hoped they had turned the corner after taking so much time to get 2014 out. I compare Finale with
