Does anyone have a listing of bugs in WordPerfect 5.1? I understand
there is a 'new' version of 5.1 available; does this solve all
the problems in the current version?

I am using a networked version (DEC PCSA) version of WP5.1; a rather
disturbing error is cropping up; WP seems to randomly substitute
two letters (eg 'Hx') for two letters sporadically throughout my document.
The letters are the same for each user session; documents created on a 
certain day seem to have the same letters, but the letters change day to day.

I assumed this was an isolated instance, but found that other users on
site were experiencing the same problem (often with serious results if
the letters were appearing within graphics)

The appears to be no common ground between different reports of this problem
so the circumstances are difficult to reproduce. It could I suppose be a network
noise problem, or a hardware problem, however this has not appeared on WP5.0
at all.

Any thoughts on the above would be gratefully accepted!
