Pasting a few words into the Flow In Text dialog doesn't work, i.e., no text appears in the dialog; I'm quite sure it used to! With Ngale 5.9 (inside Xcode), open AllObjTypes.obj, Paste " found all 7 screen sizes of the Sonata music font." appears to do nothing. W/ Ngale 5.8.9, likewise. W/ 5.7, Paste " found all 7 screen sizes of the Sonata music font." works. Back to 5.8.9 => fails. This isn't behaving consistently! Test with the same string minus the initial space, i.e., "Found all 7 screen sizes of the Sonata music font."
Log out, log back in, same test w/ 5.8.9 => it's OK; same w/ 5.8.10 => fails as before.
Log out, log back in, same test w/ 5.8.10 => OK!
Log out, log back in, same test w/ 5.9.1 (built, 25 Apr. version) => OK!
Log out, log back in, same test w/ 5.9.1 inside Xcode => OK!
So it's context sensitive in some way, at least as far back as 5.8.9: it seems to always
work after rebooting, otherwise it very often, maybe always fails. A nasty bug, and
maybe Apple's bug, not ours -- though it probably is ours :-) .
