According to their codebase, that particular issue was fixed a few months ago. But I certainly wouldn't trust Coda (on ANY platform) for production use without a bunch of testing. Which is too bad, it seems like a neat solution looking for problems to solve. I played with it for a while several years ago and I liked it enough to wish I had a problem that required it. - Bob
