------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 28 09:33:09 +0000 2007 ------- @ barryii: Interesting idea, but fme may have rendered it moot. fme said: [...]I don't think we can/should do this. This would allow you to create a new line (that increases the paragraph height) by entering a couple of blanks. I don't think that any other Word Processor behaves like that. Also this could break the layout of existing documents.[...] I hadn't thought of that. While I don't think it's good practice to leave spaces dangling at the ends of our paragraphs, it happens. It seems like the cleanest would be to let the cursor slide over into the margin when someone types one or more spaces while at the end of the line and before they type the first letter of the next word (as barryii suggested). Also when editing within a paragraph if you're adding spaces before a word the word following the cursor would snap down to the next line, but the cursor would not. By, "simple solution that covers the most important use case," I assume you mean that if a user types scads of spaces within a paragraph, they pretty much deserve whatever ugliness they get. I can live with that. Give me about a day and I'll install MS Word and WordPerfect on my machine, then report back what they do. My wife probably has a newer copy of MS Office than 2000. It's really C++? Hmmm, I though I read somewhere it was Java, and with Sun's involvement Java makes sense. I know ANSI C, but haven't bothered to learn any of the ++ constructs. Sheesh, I don't think I have a C/C++ compiler newer than six years old. I'm on Windowz 2000. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
