Subject: MacWrite Version 2.20 Bug Report
I have uncovered an obnoxious bug in MacWrite Version 2.20 that has caused
me a fair number of headaches.
In certain ill-defined circumstances, when I have a ruler with the INDENTATION
MARKER at (say) the one inch mark, ane the LEFT MARGIN MARKER at (say) the
two inch mark and I type in text to cause the screen to look as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
^ ^ ^
I - -
-----------------------------------------------------
1)<TAB> This is text to fill up the line and
cause the line to wrap around and
start filling the nest line...
Unfortunately, when printed in high quality mode the following is printed:
This is text to fill up the line and
cause the line to wrap around and
start filling the nest line...
and the "1)" is lost.
Additional information...The "<TAB>" in the sample text is the TAB character.
The spacing selected in the ruler is SINGLE and the LEFT and RIGHT MARGINS
are even. Unfortunately, this does not happen if the above example is the
entire document. The above example was taken from the end of a document that
filled ~19% of memory and has a number of ruler changes in it.
I should note that Version 1.0 of MacWrite does not exhibit this bug.
Cheers,
