Yes, I noticed that many DAs are not behaving normally under Word 3.0.
Eg. MacLightning, MenuTime, and others. Everything seems to be delayed
by Word 3.0. Word must be capturing and buffering all the events in
its local queue waiting for most appropriate moment for their processing.
This obviously has some nasty side effects on software that needs to be
regularly updated.
