Re: nacrg on Mac OS X Lion

Thanks for providing the file. I was able to view it just fine under my Snow Leopard Mac, but that was expected.

I don't have a Lion system, but I've sent the file to someone who does to see if they have the same problem.

It does sound like an X server issue.

If anybody else has a Mac Lion system could they try the same thing that JunJun did, and let me know if you have a problem or not?

Thanks,
