Just to report, the Mac version doesn't have any of these problems. It =
is somewhat annoying that in the Times section, if the text is long, as =
in 6:55, while the pIqaD version fits in the field provided, the longer =
romanized text gets crammed into a smaller field, centered, with both =
the beginning and ending truncated. It's not scrollable and the window =
can't be expanded. There is the double-arrow button in the upper-right =
corner, but that makes it full screen, essentially with the same =
problem, but larger.

It's also annoying that it requires that I install Adobe software on my =
machine. Bugs and security issues. wejpuH.
