Yeah I had some issues with the new scrabble set as well. The same as you. At first, it displayed the histogram by default. When I switched it to letter it would show both letter and histogram. It's got little bugs as far as I can see but hey, it doesn't crash, lol.
I still use MPtext v1.02 -- maybe I'm just lucky but it works beautifully for me.
