What would be really nice would be if we could actually help Jan with more than
that. Is there a post somewhere concerning the issue "please release PSPad as
GPLed software"? That way we could do quite more: investigating issues on our
own (or even pay others to do so if we want something fixed/added) and provide
suggestions instead of "complains".

I don't want to put myself in a role of Jan's secretary (or rather answering
machine) as "gwinkless" did already but... "pspad" was clear enough to me that
he is on his own in every aspect of the project - not only in programming but
also in replying to various questions in many posts, bug reports, testing,
debugging and even the design of the future version of the editor (based upon
TBCEditor engine).
Although "pspad" is complaining about lack of time yet he's not willing to share
the sources in any form of collaboration, I guess. There are many offers of help
(in various forms) in many threads in this forum (not from me personally but
many others) and it seams to me that "pspad" just wants to keep full control
over what is happening where in the code and why as a part of his self-esteem. I
can understand that kind of approach and I totally respect that too. He did a
lot of great work already.

[b]I am not demanding or expecting "pspad" to fix the bug (Ctrl+/) right here
and right now. I'm aware there are more important problems to solve. All I
wanted was to get the confirmation he can reproduce it and confirm that the
problem actually exists in his environment and just to know he added it to his
list of things to do in one of the future versions, that's all.[/b]

Following the 10 step procedure (above) takes only 3 to 5 minutes of time at
most and "gwinkless" has never done it just as I thought (or actually he has
performed the test finally after my post and confirmed it but didn't want to
admit it publicly and that's why he's so angry at me). B-] I bet he has never
read the entire conversation between me and "pspad" either (why bother, right?)
and that's why he's making an idiot of himself and wasting everybody's time
here. But this is just my opinion and not mental diagnosis for "gwinkless" - we
all have our own problems after all.

I don't know if "pspad" has ever tried to reproduce the problem (Ctrl+/) and
with what results (I'm still awaiting the answer) but "gwinkless" knows
everything best (without testing or reading). The test takes only 3 to 5 minutes
at most yet this conversation here (with my part) lasts for over 1 month
already. I just don't know what's the point of it, really. I hope it was my last
bug report for PSPad editor ever. I would rather drop this and use another
editor than go through this ever again.
