I just recently started using AppleWorks GS. I thought that I'd document
some bugs that I have noticed.
 
1) Communications
 
   - When you "paste" text from the clipboard the screen is not always updated
     properly (usually a few characters are lost) although the characters sent
     to the comm port seem correct.
 
   - If you move the mouse while the display is scrolling you will get an 
     imprint of the current cursor shape.
 
 
2) Graphics
 
   - If you rotate a line (or rectangle and perhaps other objects) the length
     of the line is changed. This is particularly annoying if you a making a 
     drawing to scale such as a floor plan.

3) Word Processing

  - If you run AppleWorks GS with only one 3.5" drive (as I sometimes do)
    and you run the spelling checker, you eventually get a dialog box
    with 'Please insert disk "/". Entering Cancel allows you to continue
    properly, however, this extra unnecessary prompt is annoying.

My first experience with AppleWorks GS (and the II GS itself) has
generally been very positive. The package is very Mac-like (is there a higher
complement?).
