Hi, Freemind is a great mindmapping programme, and is the only programme I use regularly that works on linux, mac and windows! I would strongly recommend installing the .deb file direct from the freemind website - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7118&package_id=161831&release_id=574421
Pick the top file from the list. The version in the repository is quite old and has lots of bugs (only one of which you have found!) that have been fixed. Regards, Tim -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
