These are at a level that never should have seen the outside to be reported as bugs. That something unusual happens under certain circumstances is a bug. That the IDE window regularly pauses for seconds at a time, or stops taking input, is impossible to not notice if you actually use it. This is a commercial product that was released without testing; *that* the paying customers are expected to file bug reports over what should have been done before is the fundamental problem. I have, however, added bugs 13997-9 about the failures of the checkpoints in the IDE -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
