Yes, including nasty bugs. I used to consider it the greatest GUI by far, but it
has so many bugs in eng-eng and auto232 that I can't use it, and I am not the
only one. I read about more and more testers that go back to F532 or
equivalents. F6 has been my computer chess frustration of the year. I guess that
a patch can solve things, but meanwhile I stick to F532 to play with CB engines.
