The annoying part of this is that there is a version (2.1.1 or some such) that
fixes this problem (which they said was a stupid mistake on their part), but
when I asked for it, I was told they weren't "authorized to distribute it".
Instead, they kindly offered to send me (at no cost) an earlier version of
OmniPage Pro that didn't have this bug. I told them to go ahead, intending not
to use it but wanting to have it handy. It never came.
