In the 

 4  1
 2  3  case

I get different behaviour depending on how the second page (2-3)is
created.

If I Page->Copy the second page, I get the result previously described.
If I Tool->Page palette a second page, either another normal or a
template, I will get text into page 4, however,
in both cases however, going to page 4 makes the cpu->99% 

If I stop the text in page 3, then work on new material in page 4, no
problems.

Something to do with chaining back to page from which the chaining has
already been activated.
