Re: 9.3.4.12 - zoom in plain text editor lost with editor switch
Hello Stefan, I found a zoom issue in plain text editor: Set Situation in Preferences: Standard editor is plain text, Display HTML toolbar in plain text editor is switched off, Switch to HTML from Plain Text is switched off. Perform the following steps: Start a new mail, notice that Zoom in and Zoom out are available in tool bar. Switch to HTML Editor via status bar: Zoom in and out buttons disappear. Switch back to plain text editor: Zoom in and zoom out buttons do not reappear. Best regards, mse -- Using The Bat!

Plain Text Editor
Hi, As a recent convert to TB from Eudora, and now taking up the Alpha's, I've noticed an issue with the Editor. I realise that MicroEd is being worked on,so I'm not sure if it's a know issue or not. Nevertheless, when typing a message in the Plain Text Editor I've recently found that if you hit enter to go onto a new line, and start typing, the text you're typing will automatically jump to the previous line where you hit enter. Effectively you have to hit enter twice to put an extra line in to prevent it from happening. It also occurs with things such as a Quick Template if you start typing on the line prior to any existing text, the existing text jumps to the line you're on. Another issue I've noticed is that if you select some text and hit the delete key, it may or may not delete the text. It seems to have a mind of it's own. Any help much appreciated.

I can't remember but I'm not sure that the Windows editor was added until after beta 4 so you probably don't have the foggiest idea what I'm talking about anyway. In the Micro-ed windows editor (the one TB! has always had) the quotes split perfectly - no complaint. I was querying the fact that the new Windows compliant editor doesn't do that. -- Best regards, Richard | Using The Bat! 1.63 Beta/6 & SpamPal | Windows 2000 (build 2195), version 5.0 Service Pack 3 | and using the best browser: Opera7 Current beta is 1.63b4 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

There are a lot of MicroEd features that aren't present in most e-mail
client integrated editors. This feature that we're discussing isn't
present in Becky!, Poco, Outlook, Forte' Agent, and many others.
Auto-inserting of the quote prefix upon splitting a quoted line, comes
from MicroEd's ability to reflow quoted material. If you wish for these
nice features, that I agree, should be provided in all e-mail clients,
then use MicroEd.
It's my impression that the developers wish to provide a more standard
editor, i.e., one with an approach to editing that's more familiar to
the typical TB! user and not to necessarily mirror MicroEd's features.
It's pretty clear that they're working with standard editor code and are
not writing a new editor from the ground up.
I don't see the point of enhancing it to duplicate MicroEd's features
when MicroEd is already there.
Once this new editor's wrap on sending is sorted out, it will behave
pretty much like Forte' Agent's editor, short of being able to drag and
drop text HOLD IT actually it *does* drag and drop
text. This, IMO, is a more than adequate goal.
