You should at least raise a case to Rocket about this -- they fix problems based on issues from customers --But to my knowledge, they NEVER address 'forum based' issues as they don't have an 'eCase number'! <g>
Once you've raised the case and gotten an eCase number, post that information so that other similarly situated can ALSO log a case and refer to YOUR eCase -- the more people that have the same issue, the sooner and more likely it gets addressed. People trying, giving up and then skulking back into darkness has the side effect of leaving the issue broken with Rocket possibly not aware of the impact of the break-- Unreported issues do not help raise the quality level... I've never felt that U2 ignored issues that rendered the product 'unusable' - those are usually pretty high up the list -- especially a high-profile tool like BDT -- they've been trumpeting that thing. NOW -- they may 'document' the shortcoming -- but at that point, it becomes the 'omission of a feature -- not a bug' Heheh SO, for the good of humanity (at least, the U2 subset of humanity) -- log this as an issue before you move back to WED -- and everyone else similarly situated, do the same.

Just another product that forces me to dance to their tune rather than letting me work in the most efficient manner that 20 years of experience has taught me. Yes, they're much smarter and better than me. But then, my daughter informs me just how stupid I am on a daily basis! :-) So, I guess WED is my editor of choice. After all the crap I'm forced to download and install, one would think simple editing functions would work. I guess not.
