Problem with drag & drop in Full Page View When moving selected text by dragging it to an item header in Full Page View, the text cannot be dropped because the item header is protected (correct). However, the text is removed from its source location. Not fixed Select Undo from the Edit menu immediately after the drag operation. 277
Text in Full Page Display is protected Item headers in Full Page Display are always protected. However, in some cases the complete text in Full Page Display will become protected. The protection is not removed if switching back to Multiple Tabs Display. Fixed in build 409 as of Feb 21, 2002 N.A. 276
Cannot open journal database (invalid path) When trying to install i*write on a system where the "My Documents" folder is a root directory (like C:\), the installation will fail with an invalid path containing double slashes (like C:\\iwrite\...). Fixed in build 299 as of Feb 14, 2002 N.A. 275
Export function may fail with "Invalid path" message This can happen if category names contain certain special characters like / or \ Fixed in build 409 as of Feb 21, 2002 When creating a new category, use only characters which are legal in file names.

Various problems with search hit highlighting In some cases full-text search hits were not correctly highlighted.

Performing a full-text search and opening a found item by means of the Search Results Window could result in strange scrolling behavior in the main window.

Switching view types while search hits were highlighted could cause problems.

Fixed in build 299 as of Feb 14, 2002 N.A. 217, 230, 272
