problems with Coder mode for Mac users

[Michelle Barton]

Hello,
I am teaching an undergrad lab class that is learning to use CLAN.  2 
students are using Macs and ran into trouble with the coder function.  The 
issues were:

1) After placing the cursor on the speaker line to be coded and hitting 
esc-e, CLAN inserted the dependent coding tier (%spa) ABOVE the speaker 
line instead of below.
-note that the .cut file was accessed appropriately and the codes were 
appearing at the bottom of the screen and could be inserted by clicking on 
them, so that part is ok... it is just the placement of the dependent tier 
going above rather than below the main line.

2) When the students complete their coding entries and type esc-c, they get 
a message to finish the coding; they can't exit the single line of code 
even when typing esc-c again. They can't do anything except exit the whole 
transcript and try again, but same thing happens, so their codes do not get 
saved.

I do not have a Mac, so I cannot recreate these steps myself, but I did 
watch them run through the steps they should use, and both students had the 
same issues arise.  The work around for the assignment was for them to 
manually type in the codes instead of via coder mode... but this was only 
doable because there were only 30 code lines to enter in their 2 
transcripts.

They both downloaded the CLAN for Macs around Aug 25, so they are using the 
versions that were posted then. 

Thank you for any help,
Michelle
