This seems to be related to Steve Newport's question about real-time lines... sorry to create two threads... I did a search for "freehand" and didn't catch this post.
If this has manifested itself on two machines, I'd guess it's a but (or a preference option we've missed).
Any clues out there. Xara X was really solid, so I never had to worry about support questions, but now, I'm kinda vexed!
TIA,
