I have been using Zope part-time now for almost a year. I've built some simple stuff and some moderately complex stuff. Over that time, I've kept notes about things I didn't understand, deleting those notes as I've learned more (mostly from this list).
But now I'm just at a point where I have to make a decision whether to make a *big* commitment to Zope over the next year or so on behalf of my two biggest clients and I'm experiencing some weirdness that gives me a bit of pause. I'm really looking here for an indication whether these are things others have encountered as well or whether there might be something I'm either doing wrong or not understanding.
1. Working in IE5 on Macintosh OS X, I often encounter what look for all the world like corrupted or scrambled files. Python Script objects appear particularly vulnerable, but I've seen this with DTML docs and methods as well. The symptom is that some number of letters at the beginning of the file appear to be replaced by stray and often unprintable characters. When this happens, the rest of the file becomes scrambled and sometimes unreadable, always cut off before it ends. I can switch to Windows at that point, e.g., and open the same file, and all looks normal.
