Re: Texmaker not responding

sminfo.txt attached as requested.

This is from the day after I experienced unresponsiveness, during which day I’ve been doing further work on the same document without experiencing a repeat of yesterday’s diminished TM performance.

Re: Texmaker not responding

More info:

I'm struggling away with this because I'm trying to work on a current document, and I just discovered something that might be important: When TM becomes massively unresponsive, I can cure it immediately by just slightly re-sizing the TM window.

I hope this helps.

Re: Texmaker not responding

Immediately after submitting my first posting on this, when I returned to TM, the ultra-unresponsiveness had returned. I tried opening other documents. All were the same. I forgot to mention earlier that I had rebooted the Mac to see if that fixed it. It hadn't done. Now, I saved my document and exi...

Re: Text entry difficulty

Thanks Jodi. I too have not found anything that fails to work on MacOS/Parallels. Maybe I’ll try reinstalling.

Inverted inverted commas (inverted "speech marks")

In my writing, I often need to quote part of something another person has written or said. This can very often be just a short phrase of part of a sentence, which I indicate by means of an ellipsis to signify preceding and/or following words that are omitted. I confess that I have struggled with thi...

Great idea for typesetting feature

Sometimes, when I want a document to look very smart, I spend a lot of time with multi-line titles, headings, captions, headers, footers, any text boxes, sometimes with last lines of paragraphs. and so on, fiddling with character pitch, letter spacing, 'leading,' and so on, to try to give blocks of ...

Re: Open Files in Tabs Rather Than Separate Program Instances?

I do so wish the SoftMaker developers could implement this soon.
Is it difficult? It's been a year now since first asked for.

BeckerCAD availability

I've just been absolutely delighted to discover that SoftMaker sells BeckerCAD, Looks like it has been a SM product for at least a couple of years, I missed that, whenever it was. I believe it was previously available for MacOS as well as for Windows. although, alas, SM seems to be offering it now f...

Re: Classic menu still available?

I have tried and tried to like the 'ribbon' GUI but, after some years of trying, I still very much dislike it. Why oh why did Micro$oft ever come up with this awful interface? Two reasons why do I so dislike it : (1) I still do not find it intuitive, and I still find sometimes that I have to search ...
