jbsegalI have a very long post - about 3/17-18 - sitting in an XJournal buffer. No, I didn't save it before hitting submit. Unfortunately, having hit submit, the app's now hung, with a spinning-rainbow wait cursor, and a spinning time-circle thingie next to the journal name.
Of course I can kill the app, but damn it, I want the entry.
I'm going to let it spin for longer. I doubt it'll help, but who knows.

to your cause, JB!

Sigh.

Odds are very good your text is in the core image somewhere, and i-search should find it quickly. Of course if it's properly internationalized, it could be more of a pain.
