Thanks very much. That isn't what I'm trying to do -- not any more.
Originally I did want to do that, so as to line up metrical scansion
marks -- rather like diacritics, you're right -- over text. But I

Charles,
I'm jumping in late in the game, and basing my memory of what you're
trying to do on my quick read through of your original message
yesterday. If I understand it correctly, you are trying to accurately
position some kind of diacritical markings above specific letters in
a text fi

There's a Bugzilla report about this. It started a couple of versions
ago but the team couldn't reproduce it. No one else complained, so the
bug was closed. Recently another customer complained

Am I missing something? The HI guidelines for the two platforms are
different. Rev is a cross-platform app builder. Yet it builds apps
that -- in this low-level design area -- don't conform to the
different HIGs? There's a R
It's the age old "Ok" on right (Mac) or "Ok" on Left (Windoze). IMO,
it is better to have a standard function that calls the answer (or
whatever) command having swapped the buttons in necessary, e.g.\

if tPlatform is "OSX" then
