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 3.0.5a.

What's new in this version:

Bug fixes:
- Added a work-around to avoid crashes on Leopard involving fontSetChanged message (20120112-1).
- Lion’s dictionary popover can become stuck when a full screen window is closed or switched away from, causing a crash. Fixed (20120124-1).
- Attached sheets (Save panel, etc.) can become ‘lost’ when a full screen window is closed or switched away from. Fixed (20120108-1, 20120122-1).
- Replaced _blinkCaret override with yet another fix when moving text views between windows (20120112-2). This might also fix the mysterious ‘missing text cursor’ problem.
- Paste Font Family & Ruler menu item now enables itself correctly (20120108-2).
- Fixed a regression in Bean 3.0.4 where ‘Review Changes before Quitting > Discard Changes’ could momentarily show a ‘Do You Want to Save the Changes You Made in the Document?’ alert on one document (20120123-1).
- Fixed a bug where the Show Info panel could reappear unexpectedly when switching document windows after its being closed with the close button (20120126-1).

Changes:
- ‘Undo’ now restores paragraph attributes changed after a deleted paragraph break (20120119-1).
- The Inspector’s font popup menu now reloads when the available fonts change (20120122-2).
- The Inspector now shows the typing attributes at the text cursor (i.e., the text attributes to be applied if text is typed there) rather than the attributes of the character following the text cursor (20120125-1).
- Added Polish localization.
- Note on the Dictionary Popup Crash under Lion.

An OS X bug causes the dictionary popover in Lion to become stuck when the user preference controlling the ‘zoom-open’ window animation is turned off, followed by an immediate crash (but only on apps not compiled for Lion only). The following terminal command fixes the problem, but also re-enables the animation (change YES to NO to disable it again):
- defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool YES
