I just finished installing Snow Leopard on my Mac, and it causes some problems for Pagestream. I haven't tested it extensively, but right away I noticed that text objects disappear when highlighted, and the font size indicator in the tool box is garbled.

Very strange. I don't recall either problems on betas. I've never run it
here, so I may have simply missed these issues.

Can you send me a screen shot of the issues? Maybe I can fix this remotely.

I don't have 10.6 installed yet. I've been debating on when to upgrade
my development system. How many people here _don't_ expect to upgrade?
It may be time to get a second OS X system on my desk (ok, my new desk.
Which is coming this fall. It requires my new office, which is in the
loft of our new barn, which will be built from the pile of wood sitting
outside just as soon as I get one of those "round tuits".)

Upon exploring further, I have found some more serious problems with
Pagestream under Snow Leopard:
1. The cursor placement doesn't show. That is, when clicking on text
in the the text mode, nothing happens to show the position of the
cursor. The cursor is correctly placed wherever it is clicked, but it
is invisible.

2. The sizing boxes don't show on objects when I attempt to activate
them. I was able to do some resizing of a box in spite of their
absence, but it is accomplished only by instinct.

3. In the text mode, any highlighted text disappears instead of
showing as a negative image.

4. Although it is a very minor thing, the text spacing icons are
distorted. See below.

I will play further with the program and report any other problems I
find.

I'm still using 10.4.11 on a PowerPC G4 and I'm sticking with this
setup until the whole thing goes down in flames! My motto: If it
ain't broke, don't fix it... and don't spend a lot of money replacing
it either!

send in a report when time permits, which, with the way things are
piled up, will be shortly after Hades freezes over or when Deron gets
his barn built...)

I can confirm these problems with my 10.6 installation with Pagestream5.0.5.1

New OS update (10.6.2) did not solved the problem, so IMHO it must be inside pagestream
