Lissa,

A second look tells me that you've run into something at least slightly
different.

I'll ask Bob to try to replicate your experience more precisely.  A sample
file would indeed help.

Lissa,

Thanks for the tip about when this is happening.  I believe that you found
something that Bob found using an automated fast typing simulator.  We found
it before beta 3, but postponed fixing it until at least beta 4 -- possibly
beta 5.  We simply didn't think that real typists were fast enough to hit
it.

So you've proven us wrong.  I'll bump the priority up to try to get the fix
for beta 4.

Hiya,

I just transcribed a 14-page document that crashed 4 times. In this case, I
was able to force quit using ctrl-alt-delete, instead of restarting.

The crashing seemed to take place when I typed a lot of fast keystrokes at
once, for example two tab characters to indent a closing for a letter for
several lines in a row. This was all in the translated braille document.
(Yes, I know I should have formatted them first in the print document, but
sometimes I get lazy. :) ) Thanks.

Lissa
