Hmmm. Do you have auto-wrap (not auto-format) enabled? Here is what
happens with me. I write a paragraph which is automatically being
wrapped as I go along. I'm finished, and I reread, or while writing I
decide to insert some text or rearrange the last sentence. I use the
arrow keys to navigate to the new insertion point and start typing.
After the corrections are made, the wrapping is off, so I press Alt+L
*without* having to hit an arrow key immediately prior to this. I just
did this. I'm wondering why it doesn't work for you. :-/

That's it! This is true. I personally don't do that sort of thing when
editing. :-)

This is what I do all the time. I just add words and delete others; not
select and then overwrite text. <g>

True. Another call for the need to be able to use ones own editor of
choice.
