Both! It happens to me too. I find that if I have a large document with a
table in it, Xy will not allow me to maintain the draft mode. I wrote a
message to TTG about this, but received the standard responce. To over come
this, I save off of keys, the definition has a "return to draft view" type
command. Not eligant, not neat, not nothing, but it suffices.

This generally happens to me somewhere after 250K of file, not that large
really.
