I've had two recent problems that seem to be related to Edit.  In the  
first, several editing windows were open.  When I tried to select on by  
clicking in the window, it was selected.  But, if I tried to move the  
window by clicking in the title bar, the window was moved to the rear!   
This went on for some time.  Eventually the workspace manager also went  
south in some fashion by removing the browser window.  I stopped Edit  
and restarted it.  Then things cleared up.

Just now, I received a document with a rich text attachment.  I saved  
it and opened it.  I saw only ascii text with / and other symbols.  So  
I saved it again after removing some mail info at the top.  The when  
trying to open the document by dbl-clicking again, I get a file system  
error, file doesn't exist.  BUT, It is still showing in the browser  
even after updating, and a more of the file shows it clearly.  Stopping  
and restarting Edit doesn't clear things up.

I would report these to NeXT, but they apparently don't want to hear  
about bugs unless you have a service contract.  If anyone has such a  
beast and wants to forward bug reports, be my guest.

This release offers a lot, but in MHO is flakier than 2.0 was.  I hope  
a 3.1 comes out soon!  This is affecting my ability to get my work done  
and indirectly to keep convincing managment that NeXT is a great  
productivity tool!
