------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 12 19:35:35 +0000 2008 ------- If horizontal and vertical splitting are possible, I'd offer both at any time. With large wide screens vertical splitting absolutely can make sense even with horizontal writing. See gvim (aka vim-gtk) and xemacs. Selecting text the way you described would be nice, but not a necessary part of a new split window view. The split window implementation of M$ Word 2000 would satisfy most of us, despite the imperfections you mentioned. That's a general remark: Sometimes a feature is better in than out, even if it is incomplete, experimental, looks awful, ... As of example applications, I can name some apps aside MSO: Word processors: + KWord (split windows and multiple windows, synchronized) + AbiWord (synchronized multiple windows) + StarOffice in late 1990ies ;-)) Text editors (unfair to compare with them, but still): + vi in all variants + emacs in all variants + nedit Top list of apps not providing real split windows: - OOo - KDevelop 3.x (Feature scheduled for KDevelop 4.x) - Eclipse 3.x (Eclipse Bug 8009, Feature has chances for 4.x; same painful discussion there) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
