Thanks so much for your response.
I was hoping that you would give me a more promising report – that AE and PP were now wonderfully stable under El Capitan. No such hope, apparently. I should get real.
I wonder whether, during our lifetimes, these two absurdly wobbly applications will be fixed by Adobe. I am not at all excited by the prospect of a completely rewritten AE because the work is, no doubt, being done by Adobe technicians who, to date, have amply demonstrated their incompetence.
It ia marginally surprising that, as far as I know, a class action suit of Users vs Adobe has not emerged. But I guess the financial reward is not large enough for a law firm to take on.
I have come to deeply hate Adobe and all who sail in her.
Best and thanks again for the reply,
Harry.
