[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] bug in grouped property in Hycd 2

icapon@registry.adelaide.edu.au (Nick Capon) (02/08/91)

Try this 

set textstyle of line 2 of field whatever to group
set textstyle of line 3 of field whatever to group

click on line 3. The resulting clickchunk covers BOTH lines. That is, the 
two 
adjacent groups have been combined into one larger group. The analogous 
action  does not happen with two adjacent groups in the same line. 

Putting an ungrouped space at the end of line 2 fixes the problem. But an 
end of line terminates a word, and should be enough to 
separate/terminate groups.

I can't tell is v2 has the same problem. Haven't got it yet. But I haven't 
seen this behaviour documented.
