I recently got Moire 3 and have been trying it out. I like it really
well, and am ready to send in the shareware fee, but before I do, I was
wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem similar to what I'm
having.
Moire seems to work perfectly with the applications I've tried it with.
(Well, it interferes with downloading in MicroPhone, but that's no
problem because I can just use the "wake rect")
My problem occurs in Word 4.0. Moire often blanks the screen, but
nothing further happens (i.e. no "dancing moire patterns", just a dark
screen). If I move the mouse to the "sleep rect", Moire kicks in like
it should. And occaisonally Moire works properly when I'm simply
inactive.
I haven't done controlled tests to determine when exactly the problem
occurs, but it seems that it happens when I stop in the middle of
typing. If the last thing I did was, for example, a spell check, then
Moire works properly.
Is this a problem with Word, or with Moire, or something else? I've
noticed that Word also interferes with SuperLaserSpool while I'm typing
(actually, it stops the printing altogether and I have to click
someplace else to get it started again, and avoid a dialog box stating
that "The printer is not responding..."). Have others noticed this
problem, or is it just me?
Thanks
