Hello,
1. Dragging bitmaps on to the pasteboard or to the page background is a permitted action in Xara. I think the pasteboard is more fragile than the page, because I encounter more crashes if I do anything to the pasteboard.
2. I wasn't working on the default photo. It was a 760 web page.
3. I bought this computer because Xara previously suggested my existing computer might be causing crashes. On a brand new system I still have the problems.
4. I don't get many crashes when working with images, with the exception of dragging bitmap fills and setting nav bar buttons. Normally Xara is very stable, and it recovers itself from most problems in a way that other programs don't.
5. I have beta tested professionally and agree - unless something can be reproduced it is very hard to fix. Nothing much I can do about this, though. I am not paid to test Xara - just thought they might find it generally helpful to know what kinds of errors are occuring. I think they might know that already, in view of the many updates we've had for the program in the short time since launch.
Off to the seaside. It's a gorgeous day here.
