Textbox bug in E-Prime

[frankbosco]

Rick,

ABSOLUTELY!  This drives me nuts, as well.  For me, it happens
especially when adding more that 20-30 characters to a textbox within
a slide.  What's the deal, E-Prime???  Sometimes, I think that the
only feature in E-Prime that works 100% flawlessly is their copyright
protection (which, by the way, wastes a great deal of time when
working/opening/saving in E-Studio!).   Another warning re: E-Prime
2.0:  E-Studio randomly deleted an .es2 file on me (after crashing, of
course) that I had been working on for several days.  I almost lost
it.  Now, I need to save 2 copies of each .es2 file (huge waste of my
time).  While I'm complaining about E-Prime 2.0, I would really like
to have a set of user's manuals (in print) - I find a 2-year release
candidacy to be semi-unacceptable (especially for a software that
costs $800 or more!).  I think this may be my last E-Prime purchase --
I may look into other options in the future.
