cursor. (I gather Csound remains to be rebuilt with (scons option)
<font size="3" face="Times New Roman">buildRelease=1. At least, that's what Victor
Lazzarini says.)</font> Otherwise I'll need to add the --old-parser flag to
all my (6) activities - which I'd prefer not to do uniquely for this release.
I'd certainly hope this can be adjusted before SoaS5 release.</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>You've had an email from me about this already. I asked questioned and "still" don't have a reply. So until I get answers to my questions this isn't going to be fixed because I still don't know what the problem is.<br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">4) Main issue #2: activities only start 50% of the
time. This is true for *all* activities. It's not clear why an activity
will start one time and not another (it prints "didn't start" message). With
Mango Lassi, this happens occasionally/rarely for me; here it happens *a
lot*.</font></div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, I'm seeing this on a LiveUSB key but not on a standard Fedora 15 install with sugar (same release), it seems to have only started recently, or maybe regressed more recently, but I'm not sure of what the fix is. It really needs a Sugar dev to look closer at it but they don't seem to be interested at the moment.<br>

USB drives I'd made with LiveUSB Creator. It doesn't. I created two: one 2GB,
one 4GB with all memory protected.</font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">5) Noted difference in Journal: hovering over an
entry does nothing; a right-click on an entry does nothing. Only a left-click
resumes the activity - normally the one it originated in (see 5 below).
Apparently you cannot erase from the Journal (except by clicking on the
rightmost arrow, to another page), nor resume in a different activity any
more. I appreciated those features.</font></div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>Different to what? Please be specific otherwise it makes no sense. You could be saying its different to a tree down the road.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">6) Record (audio) continues to cause me problems.
Record apparently records correctly (or does it?) but does not play back. When a
recording is "resumed" from the Journal, it resumes (not in Record) but in
either Surf or Etoys, depending on whether it was saved automatically from
Record, or as a clipping that was kept. In any case, no activity plays the
"recorded" file. Go figure. (One possibility: Record seems to be interchanging
Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Speex formats - ugh.) FWIW, here's the complete Record log
(seems to involve the Dbus and an elapsed timeout):</font></div>
