What are the known problems?
'Invalid zip file'. Check that the download files have the exact number of bytes shown above.
On Windows:
Right clicking on some mice does not bring up the correct menu. Try right clicking while holding the ctrl key down.
On Windows 98, the help dialog for motion and force-torque dialogs will not close when the X button is clicked. Close with ESC key.
On machines with low memory, desktop icons may become white when 'freeCAD' exits. Reboot to recover. Internet Explorer 5.5 seems to be the cause. Upgrade to Internet Explorer 6.
If resizing the window is very slow to repaint, disable 'Show window contents while dragging' found in Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/Effects.
On Linux:
'Out of Memory' error at startup. The probable cause is having too many fonts. Execute with the following command to start freeCAD
./visual -h10M visualnc.im
Animation is jerky when the graphics window is very large. Reduce the window size.
