(Get the code!)
Barry - forget it. Nobody will ever do anything about this any way. It was first
raised in 2003. I pointed out over two years ago that it was a fundamental
breakdown in WYSIWYG. Since then as far as I can see nobody has done a thing. It
appears in OpenOffice, in Thunderbird, in several Bulletin Boards that I use
that reuse OpenOffice code. You may have noticed it's here in this data entry
box. I hit it several times a day. Every day.
It doesn't need any of your suggestions. What it needs is that when I type a
space, I get a space. Just like any other character. I get a space at the start
of a line, in the middle, and in the end. That's all that's required - treat a
space like any other character.
It's shameful that this bug should still exist after all this time and all these
reports.
