I'm going to go ahead and push this back to the lists, so people a little more cogent than I can jump in.

I think you've convinced yourself that isn't the case by now. Those characters are double wide, or full width. No extra spaces mixed in.

(It's the one that always gets me, you'd think I'd be sensible enough to disable that keyboard shortcut.)

Well, if you don't know what you're looking for, it doesn't help.

Very frustrating. My Dad would always just go to sleep when the computer misbehaved. Lately, I do, too. Hate it when I end up dumping a long string of 500 periods or exclamation marks or something into a document before I wake up. Worse is when I fall asleep on the backspace key. :-/ > I wish I had switched to linux when I was learning the little bit that I did > do under Unix.
