The current behavior is not a bug and is exactly the way we designed it to work. That said, I *do* want to change the implementation so that any time a cell is changed and the cursor leaves the cell or "save & close" is clicked, the changed version is sent back to the server. I think Tom Boothby has argued against this, which is why it hasn't happened already. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
