Well we have just started with Flare 4.1 and we get a rather odd problem - see the screenshot below.
As you can see, text is missing in the topic. It is only some topics and is, as far as I can tell, always on text that has been formatted, for example, text that has been given the b character format. But it is not on all formatted text - just some. Sometimes, we can maximise the window and the text comes back - sometimes not. Sometimes we close the file and re-open and the text comes back - sometimes not. Any clues?

Re: Missing text in topic
Are you using the latest 4.1? Ie does Flare prompt you for an update when you start it? There was a problem with the first release of Flare 4.1 which caused vanishing text in certain tags, it may be related. It has been fixed in the subsequent patch and Flare 4.1.4.

The first release of Flare v4.1 had this issue, and it has been corrected, Also the Update to Flare v4.1 that was released yesterday will fix this issue also.

Hi Gary, your screenshot is exactly the sort of problem I was getting with the first release of 4.1. I've rolled back to 4.0 and am watching and waiting before trying a newer 4.1, so please post back here when you're confident you're not getting the problem in any topics. Thanks.

I think it is okay now. Upgrading to the latest 4.1 hotfix seems to fix the problem. But we will continue to keep an eye on it.
