HyperCardiacs: I have been seeing some interesting things happening to my cursor as I edit fields and scripts. Start with the cursor in the middle of a line, press the left arrow repeatedly to move the cursor toward the beginning of the line. The cursor moves to the place between the first and second characters of the line, then the next left arrow press moves the cursor to the end of the previous line, totally skipping the beginning of the line: This is the previous line. T|his is a test line. \----Cursor between "T" and "h", press Left Arrow... This is the previous line.| This is a test line. \----Cursor at end of previous line. Any comments? - David Mittman DMittman@Beowulf.JPL.NASA.GOV

Apparently this is a bug fix side-effect (aka a new bug!) =Ned Horvath=

I've noticed the same problem in HC 1.2.5, HC 2.0, SuperCard, and others that use TEdit. The problem first appeared in System 6.0.5. Does this mean that they still haven't fixed it in 6.0.7???
