Hi,

I've also notice, in some nemith documents will be opened, you will then close it, and then reopen it to insert a calculation or something, and it will display, opening file, please wait. After trying different resets, it still does the same thing. I end up having to create a different document, and the file that says, opening file, can not be opened again, as it will continue to freeze my apex.

Anyone seen this?

Subject: [BNU] mager nemeth bug!

Hi all, so, I found a huge nemeth bug.  Here it is.  1.  Force
great  nemeth, by pressing backspace with n.  Then, in the
calculator, do a very long calculation, like 32626+261262.
Then, go back into your document.  Then, enter with i for
insertion.  Then, press c for insert calculator result or whole
calculation.  At that prompt, insert the result.  Here's the bug.
For some reason, it crashes if you do it, and you have to delete
the document to get it working.  And, it says, dots, dots 2 5,
dots.  That's how it reads it.  And, the braille display freezes.
Here's the cause.  I figured out that, instead of putting in
numbers, it puts in an extended character.  Since it would only
render as a question mark in emails, I've atatched a document
containing the character.  I think that that character is
confusing the word processor.  I figured out that if I focus the
cursor on the character, then remove it, everything goes back to
normal.  No worries, opening the document I've atatched won't
lock your apex.  It's unicode, and it won't lock up.  Alex or
joseph, have any of you seen this character? It seems to be some
kind of high-level programming character.  And, the temperary
workaround is to force grade 2 when inserting results.  Hope this
helps.
