Hello fellow Bat! fans.
How can I get the Bat! editor to act ~normally~ when I compose a post, or cut &
paste, etc.?
I mean, why do the scroll bars go; why do cut & pastes reformat, etc. etc.
Why can't life be simple?

It does.

Because it is still a free caret concept?

The best way to see it is to enable them and then try to make a table:
12 3
45 6
7 8 0
Try this and be awed. ;-)

Because it isn't a 'normal' editor. :-) It works differently. It's a
free caret editor.
