hello:
i am using dragon 15 and i do not have this problem with duow but i do
have a problem with keeping a google docs or any google sweets app open.
if the dns extenchion is running i will get a unable to load document
when ever i change tabs or if i use any of the apps menus this is
driving me nuts because google says its out of scope for them to fix it
and dns never answers. i think its time we push back on newonce to get
them to play nicely with others
