<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I tried to discovered it but without success. It's really strange. I expect that I already fixed it by accident :-)<br />
We'll see when I release beta version. <br />
<br />
Thanks for testing.<br />

<br />
PS. It was released Java SE 6 yesterday. Try to upgrade to this version. WordRider should be at least 2x faster with opening files (and faster to launch).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Vity,<br />
<br />
I simply cut/copy part of the text from the file opened on Wordrider. <br />
<br />
No problem when I use the menu bar, but the problem occurs when I use the rigth click menu.<br />
<br />
When I cut/copy with the right click, the paste icon, in the tool bar, is shadowed. So impossible to use it too.<br />
<br />
I am using Windows Me. I haven't tried on Linux.<br />
<br />
I updated the JVM with 1.5 update 9 and it still does not work.]]></description>

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem you mentioned. What kind of text did you paste - eg. from extern program? Does it happen always?<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />

<br />
I came up with a small problem with version 0.8 alpha 3 (wibndows version)<br />
When I cut a piece of text with the right click. It works.<br />
But if I want to paste with the right click menu, the paste fonction cannot be accessed with the right click menu.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hello Jim,<br />
those are great news for me.<br />
Can you give me some specification for the icon in KDE?. I'll ask Rusttaf to create it.<br />
I'll fix the splash screen.<br />
<br />
I also plan to release another build today or tommorow - I bundled other new features ;-). Watch this forum :-).<br />
<br />
Thank you for your report again.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Congratulation Vity for this new version.<br />
<br />
It's much faster than the 0.75 version.<br />
The transfer fonction works well on my Windows Me + TI connect + TI titanium. It's a great feature.<br />
<br />
I tested also the linux version, that works fine too. I haven't tested the transfer on Linux since TIPL2 does not work yet on Linux for Titanium.<br />
Can you add an icon for the KDE desktop ?<br />
<br />
On the presentation screen the version is still 0.75. (sorry I haven't found any thing else wrong).]]></description>
