If the word that ends the line is right up to the end of the line, and then you hit a space, and then you start typing the next word, in Word and SimpleText the new word will wrap to the new line, and the old word will stay on the old line, but in Director, the old word and the new word are concatenated and wrapped onto the new line, contrary to expectations. Adding artificial RETURNs and SPACEs end up with a bad situation where the user may not be able to enter any characters at all after a time, especially if they use the arrow keys to go back over the previous line ending. (Bertil - thanks for chiming in so I don't think we're crazy on this one! Maybe we can get it resolved. If not, I may be asking you for an example of your workaround.)
