Workbook - Gel Sparkle Text and Xtreme Pro

I was just going through some workbook tuts and was doing the Gel Sparkle Text one from October 2006:
http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook52/page_6.htm

When I get to this point - Click the Fill Tool on the filled text again and 2 text entry boxes will appear on the Infobar. In the first (Fractal Resolution) key in 300dpi and press Enter. In the second (Fractal Scale) key in 100 and press Enter . This makes the colored speckles very fine. - I canNOT get the Fractal Resolution box nor the Fractal Scale box to ungray themselves, in Xara Xtreme Pro. If I do this in Xara Xtreme, they are not grayed out and work fine.
Help?

Hi Bob,

Yes I can confirm that. Looks like a bug. I'll report it.

I wouldn't mind seeing another fill added to the drop down called "Noise". I know this is more of filter type of thing but if there were a way to add this I would love it myself!! :)
