You think the Outlining function might be a cause of MSW instability? Talk about grasping at straws to support your point. Until you can produce something other than an uneducated guess about the code of outline mode, we'll just toss that in the word-chipper. So, what other legacy mentalities shall we toss out? How about formatting? Backspace! Maybe Undo? Outlining is a very basic function to many, many people who write for a living, not to mention those of us who code for a living and have a need to document what we do. Honestly, the more I think about this ridiculous post, the more I think I just stuck my foot into flame bait. It is frustrating to me because I'm sure one person taking the time to push back gives fuel to the Outlining opponents at OO (the OO@OO group.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
