Hi,
Please see here for some clarifications of this issue: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3475#p18839

As you may have noticed, after the 4.0.3 update the styles list in the palettes and in the menu contains some additional styles whose name is preceded by a diamond sign. Styles that were not there before. I would like to use this post to explain what's going on and perhaps offer some advice on what ...

The [### error - illegal character ###] text shows up with some documents that Mellel 4 corrects on opening. Due to some bugs in Mellel versions in the past, documents could become contaminated with all sorts of illegal structures. For example, it is illegal to have a footnote reference inside the t...

This is a known bug. Happens when you show/hide the outline via View->Outline, works OK if you click the show/hide side pane button at the bottom of the document window. This will be fixed soon

Of-course, we strive for the best performance. I would kindly ask anybody who is experiencing issues of slowness to write to me answering the questions. I've received very few reports and the sample size may not be big enough to allow us to isolate the issue.

Hi Everybody, We would like to get to the bottom of this issue. If you are experiencing slowness with Mellel, please contact me directly (eyal@mellel.com) and answer the following questions: 1. Mac OS Version 2. Are you using a retina screen? 3. Are you using an OpenType font? 4. Is the slowdown new...

I believe this issue should be fixed with the just released Mellel 4.0.2. Choose Mellel->Check for updates to update your Mellel.

Mellel 4.0.2 was just released, choose Mellel->Check for updates to update.
This release should fix the regression in 4.0.1 that caused crashes and misbehaviour when doing bibliography scans. Please let us know if the issue has been indeed resolved.

This issue was subsequently fixed. Thanks for reporting.

We managed to isolate the bug. We will release version 4.0.2 to fix this in the next few hours. (Might take 24 in the Mac App Store). Make sure to check for updates soon.

If you're experiencing problems please contact our support and also supply the Mellel document and bookends database.

Just a quick note. We hope to fix this issue for Mellel 4.1, we didn't have enough time to solve this issue for Mellel 4.0.1. I see that people here blame the story and index features for this problem but in fact the issue is not related to that, and certainly no to the three way selector at the top...

There are a couple of minor cosmetic issues with High Sierra (Hi!). They will be addressed with the soon to be released 4.0.1

We need some help with Korean related issues in Mellel. If you are familiar with writing in Korean and willing to help (nothing too complex, just a couple of questions) please contact me personally at eyal at mellel dot com.
Thanks!

Please note that the side bar is resizable but the minimum size with Mellel 4.0 is wider than it used to be. We will try to allow making it narrower with the upcoming release.
