I have the same problem but, oddly, didn't have it when I was using an
earlier version of 4.12 (4.12h, as I recall). I also have the problem
mentioned by Dan Kanagy of apparently defined text in fact only being
partly defined, so that when I do cut and paste or copy operations, only
part is transferred. It happens about half the time. Interesting that the
problem is in both the DOS and Windows versions.

While we're on bugs, does anyone else have a problem with XyWin dropping
words or even whole lines from footnotes?
