I tried to send feedback but it didn't work, so I thought I would see if this is a problem for anyone else.
1. Working on a document.
2. Spinning beachball.
3. Massive paging.
4. Must force quit to exit NWX.
I checked my console log and found nothing.
The only thing I think, and I want to stress I am not certain, happened before is that NWX was very sluggish upon working in a document each time this happened. I will observer more closely, though after switching completely to NWX, this has happened to me twice within the last week. It is the unacceptable error in a word processor, and not something I had problems with in Word. I would like to continue to use NWX, but if this behavior continues I will be forced to find another word processor. Stability is the number on requirement for me; nothing else coming close.
Is this a common problem: freezing?
Hello cj,
I don't think you are alone in having NWX block. I have noted numerous cases of the spinning beachball. For me, the situation usually arrives when I try to select and delete a phrase in a document that I have been working on. I don't know if the fault lies with Apple or Nisus but like you, I see a lot of activity, presumably paging. Force quitting and reopening the document usually removes the problem and restarting certainly does correct the problem until the next time.
I hope that version 2 does not have the problem.
Good luck,
Charlie

Hello, cj and croth!
I sent feedback (by e-mail; the feedback mechanism in NWE didn't work for me either) to Nisus a day or two ago regarding the very thing croth did -- that is, selecting and deleting a phrase brought on the spinning beach ball. cj, does this sound like what might have happened to you? I never encountered the problem until now, but it sounds like it's more widespread than just this one incident in my experience.

I think that is it, selecting text, but I can't seem to duplicate it. It just. . .happens, not very often, but often enough to be frustrating, though not often enough to switch back to Word. I tried the trial of Word 2004, and it was a trial, all right
Hopefully, NWX2 will solve the problem. That would be the best bug fix of all.
