Greetings,
Is it just me? Or does anyone else notice this issue?
SITUATION: When double-clicking on blank lines or spaces in a text
field, any punctuation or non-alphabetic/number characters at the
head of the selected area are selected as well.
BACKGROUND: When selecting blank lines or spaces between words with
punctuation or other-than-alphabetical/numeral, any punctuation at
the head of the selected area are selected as well. If you delete
the selected text you also lose the non-alphabetical/numeric
characters.
Chuck, I think this is an issue of Windows vs. Mac. In Windows,
double-clicking on a word gets you all the surrounding punctuation as
well. Drives me crazy, for the reasons you enumerate.
But it makes sense for an application program like FileMaker Pro to
hand off certain jobs (like "What day is it today?") to the operating
system, so the users get the behavior they're accustomed to. This is
probably one of them.
