My post Why does Corel Draw Graphics Suite X5 feel more like beta software? explains everything im having an issue with X5. In an effort to log the issues with this software, Im asking that if your an X5 User and are having file corruption, crashes, freezes and other such fun stuff happening to you killing your time and money while in Draw or Photopaint, please post it here.
In order to keep it all clean and easy for someone at Corel to follow, please only list issues for X5 and not turn it into a discussion out of topic.
Please, there is no need to try to defend Corel here as Iv used Corel since version 4 (not X4), so thats a long time using it.
Already exists a post with a list of wishes for a service pack, you don't need to create other, is better to post all on the same list
This is not a wish list. Its pretty obvious that it is not as the word wish was never used and is a Bug Report. Your posts Ariel are not a help.
Pleas list any issues in this post. Thank you.
Hi.
Same as x4.
When starting x5 if mouse is over a button, that button gets pressed. Same when opening a blank document.

X5 shuts down on me many times during every work session. Sometimes when I am changing fonts, sometimes when editing bitmaps, sometimes when importing bitmaps, sometimes when applying a transparency. Bang - just shuts down. I can have Corelpaint open editing a bitmap and CD closes underneath it. I can open window to import a file and CD closes as I search the thumbnails. It closes when I click the change page tab.
Doesn't seem to be any specific act or function that closes it - it just shuts down. Gone.
No warning. I lose everything since the previous save. Half the time the working file is corrupted, too, so I can't even restore it. I have to keep numerous versions on disk and use save-as with every save to keep just one alive.
Same exact issue with me. I've used X4 (and other earlier versions) with relatively good functionality. X5 is crashing so much and seemingly so randomly it's maddening at best. The time wasted from lost work, and now trying to find an answer, is setting me so far behind I could scream. I can't believe this is so difficult to address.
Issue(s): CRASHES AT LEAST ONCE DURING EACH WORK SESSION
Solution(s): The old adage "Save early. Save often." has never rang so true as it does with this release. Get used to clicking "Save" after each action (assuming you're lucky enough to open the document) - make it an autopilot response... and pray you weren't distractedly productive enough to forget!

If all users have the same program, and some people have problems everyday but most people works fine everyday withouth crashes or other issues... what's the difference? since it's not the computer, I believe is the operating system, or, in other words, how you configure your operating system.

Although I believe that there was a bug in the download install version, I'm fine now after a repair. I'll also note, that I believe the slower, older computers are having less problems than the newer upgraded ones. I don't know if it is a windows version issue or a processor/multi-processor issue, but that is what I "feel" I have seen on these boards. We're running refurbished IBM's from tigerdirect with Windows XP and I am now finding very few issues that can't be resolved.
