  • Bug report

    From Ward Dossche@2:292/854 to Nick Andre on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 09:01:13
    This bug report is not specifically linked to the latest release. It is an existing condition which has not been remedied yet and probably rolled off the screen.

    In the editor when not enough free characterspace is available at the end of a line, the editor will wrap-around to the next line. which is OK.

    However, under certain conditions, and I have as yet after 31 years of using D'bridge not been able to ascertain whichones, when the editor wraps-around, the cursor is not at the end of the word which just got moved to the next line but is in front of it.

    Another bug, sorta, which has not been dealt with yet is that when replying ESC+R+Q in echomail, the editor will add a blank line. This is mildly annoying.
    This situation does not occur in netmail. This 'bug' (it isn't a feature) is a pre-existing condition as well which has popped-up a while ago.

    Another bug, sorta, which has not been dealt with yet is that when
    replying ESC+R+Q in echomail, the editor will add a blank line. This is mildly annoying. This situation does not occur in netmail. This 'bug' (it isn't a feature) is a pre-existing condition as well which has popped-up
    a while ago.

    I have never rep[ied to a message using ESC+R+Q with the DB editor. I would be
    interested to know how your system i set up. If I see a message I want to reply to, I simply hit Q. which is what I did here. Also, and under certain platforms, Golded will insert that blank line. I hit the Del key to remove it (if I want to reply).


    ... Dip it in chocolate, it'll be fine.


    Regards,

    Roger

    Typo of mine .... I meant to say "R+Q"

    The blank line does not appear while editing, it appears afterwards in the finished text after hitting F2.

    Has it anything to do with the piping symbols you may or may not have in your sig?
