I recently upgraded from an earlier version. Now I can’t paste anything into freeway. I get the color wheel of death and have to force quit.
I’m running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

What are you trying to paste?

Text from a webpage an e-mail etc.
Update:
I Checked the KnowledgeBase and found where someone was having a problem with Suitcase Fusion, but that’s not on my system.
I also tried going into font book and verifying all my fonts. Figured I might have a font problem. But they all checked out.
Finally thinking that it could still be a font issue, I tried pasting into a text only document and then copying from there into freeway. That worked, but it’s really not a good solution.
If I can cut and paste from any application to any other application without any problems, it seems to me that the problem is with this release of Freeway. Especially since I didn’t have a problem with the previous version I was using (5.3 I think).

Did anything else change? Did you update the System at all recently?
Not doubting that it’s Freeway, but just trying to contain the
universe of possible moving parts in this…

As far as I can tell it started happening after I loaded the version of Freeway. I apply updates whenever Apple sends them out so It would be hard to know if one of those is the culprit.
What I do know for sure is that I am not having any problems cutting and pasting to any other applications.
Is there a way I can do a clean install? I’ve upgraded since version 4. Maybe there is something hanging around that it’s having trouble with.

Freeway doesn’t do installs in the usual sense. It’s just a single package that you drag into your Applications folder. The only things that could get borked are the preferences. But this sounds like fonts gone wild to me. Try making a new user account, log in as that user, and see if you can repeat the problem there. A new user won’t have any Freeway preferences, but more importantly, won’t have any except the core Apple fonts.

Walter,
That did the trick. “Fonts gone wild.” 
Thanks.

Now, the challenge is to figure out which one has been acting up on
spring break. The usual method is a quick-sort: disable half of the
fonts that the two users don’t have in common. If the problem goes
away, re-enable half of the difference, etc. until you find the one
that makes it go awry. If that doesn’t fix it, then disable half of
the remaining. Always move in halves, as you speed up your search
dramatically over hunt-and-peck methods.

Just to chime in. I tried pasting a forms table today into Freeway from one page to another and each time I pasted Freeway crashed.
Using 5.5
