Thanks for all  your replies. I had no idea that an expensive, professional-level
program would have such obvious bugs. The one about comments is far from the
first one i've encountered. My respect for the program just went down a bunch
and my caution just went down by the same amount. I will no longer assume
that bugs are my fault.
