The cursor sits on the line below where the text would go, which is most confusing if you're not prepared for it. There is also a nasty gotcha where if you drag a text file into the textarea NS just opens the file in the main window thereby losing the form that you were completing. I have raised bug reports in the dim and distant past but I guess there hasn't been anyone available to work on this area. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
