                                    <pre>Hi
I am sorry that ubuntu offers no such support for free software.
Upgrading the OS can be an option.
Or requesting support from ubuntu or someone who can develop a backport.
This can be requested on an ubuntu forum.

A modern way of distributing software may help us soon:

                              able to upgrade kexi versions. The version
                              I have right now is so dysfunctional. Any

                              of the screen into the left side of the
                              table, it makes the table jump to the top.
                              This is endlessly frustrating and a huge
                              waste of time. Say I am working in row
                              #750, the mouse moves across the left
                              border of the table and all of a sudden

    Now this is very exciting indeed. I will definitely try this-- right
    now.<br>
    <br>
    Do I need to first uninstall my existing version of Kexi? And if so,
    can I use the Ubuntu software manager to do the install?<br>
    <br>
