I hope others have noticed this...

In the Fullwrite spell checker, everything the Valid Spelling button is pressed
my Mac gets stuck into a loop where the cursor watch just keeps on ticking
without bringing me back into the program.  This started happening, I think,
because my User Dictionary was too full (because if you delete this file,
it becomes normal).  I was hoping they fixed this in FullWrite 1.5, but the
bug is still there.

A way out of the loop is to hit the restart button or the interrupt button,
where typing the right codes will bring you back to the Finder.

I apologize if this had been a widely-known bug.

Please reply by mail. 

Thanks.
