A quick check shows there are no binary installers for the QScintilla patches. That's going to cause problems until an official QT release comes out. I'm not sure I'm up to applying the patch either on XP or Ubuntu. So let's punt on that for now. We may have to "officially disable" many (all?) keys in the body pane. But as I write this, I see that this will not be enough: we must disable (or minimize the impact of) all methods in leoQtBody that depend on the Qt bug fixes. Your suggestion just to use QScintilla.setAllText and avoid all other methods is right on target in this context. We can get something out the door that's not actively dangerous. This workaround is not a panacea. For example, the reformat-paragraph command steps through text by setting the insertion point. If the insertion point can't be set accurately the reformat-paragraph command and others may appear to have bugs. But that can't be helped and won't be a terribly big deal. Ville, this is a truly great collaboration. The differences in our points of view seem to spur us both on. As I write this, it seems like it may be possible to start eating our own dog food *today*.
