------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 29 19:59:48 +0000 2007 ------- I agree that OO Writer should ignore trailing spaces as you describe even if it breaks some people's hacky centering of indented lines, but I'm not against a OOo 2.0 mode in which people's code wouldn't break but new features aren't available. scottydm wrote: "When editing an existing paragraph, you can set your cursor at the beginning of a line, just in front of the first character. However, you cannot set your cursor at the end of a line after the final space on that line." I think it should be allowed. Let's take advantage of every easy improvement over MS Word that we could make that has no bad side. The first place I'd think of to put the cursor if I want to delete the last character of a line is at the end of the line. Having the cursor jump down to the beginning of the following line if someone tries to put their cursor at the end of the previous line (I don't know whether MS Word does that) is OK because the letter would be inserted down there anyway, but with spaces it would be weird, as you said. It breaks WYSIWYG. scottydm wrote: "2nd line of 1st paragraph has a whole bunch of spaces, but they are not all visible because some have "fallen off" the edge of the "paper"; if you happen to put your cursor out there (using the arrow keys) the cursor is not visible either" It's kind of like MS Word is in viewer mode by default and OO Writer is in edit mode by default (with OO Writer not showing images, etc). I'm more of an MS Word person, but I also like to know exactly what's happening to the document I'm editing and where it's happening. If the cursor is going to "fall off" like that, then at least have some information in the toolbar about where the cursor is. I'd prefer the information in the margin, on the line of the cursor, whether or not "show nonprinting characters" is on. Remove the information when the cursor gets out of the invisible area. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
