Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Bean 1.2.0.

What's new in this version:

- images now indicate when they are selected with a selection-colored box (user suggestion)
- added a small 'EXIT' button in the status bar as a hard-to-miss way to exit full screen mode
- Find > Define Word now accepts multiple word selections, like 'local time', or 'turn on the charm'
- added Style > Select by > Font Style/Ruler
- added Style > Select by > Font Family/Ruler (like above, but selects italics, bold, etc. variations)
- Changed the factory default rich text font to Times New Roman instead of Times. Text lays out up to three times faster using Times New Roman, despite the fact that the two fonts are nearly identical!
- new keyboard shortcut for Format > Justify: Cmd- (the old one stopped working after the move to the 10.5 SDK)
- Style > Select by... menu now contains all select-by-style actions
- restored show/hide Font Panel action to Cmd-T (toggle function disappeared after the move to the 10.5 SDK)
- fixed a problem where Inspector wouldn't display correct initial settings for any document opened with the cursor at the start of the document
- file links containing spaces now open immediately
- fixed minor ruler widgets drawing problem
