The origin of this behaviour that is present in most Windows based
editors that may have reason to use is pretty much besides the point.
The reality is that if you are developing an application for Windows
users then you are faced with this unfortunate fact and that is that
most are accustomed to a certain behaviour or functionality.

I realize this. I see that I used the word 'Standard' rather loosely.

Simple text editing is not advanced use. Notepad and virtually all
windows based editors will behave exactly the way she desires. :-) If
they offer a free caret interface, the four I've had opportunity to use
had the free caret interface toggled off by default. If this is the
case, then the editor cursor behaviour she desires may, in a sense, be
considered standard behaviour. Nuh? :-)

Sure. I agree but that doesn't negate anything I'm trying to get across
to you.
