Hello Henk! On Friday, July 22, 2005, 11:58 AM, you wrote: I *do* so wish that we could hunt this bug down! :( Is it on BT? I can't remember whether I made a BT report. At the time that I was so upset about it, no one would confirm it. Then, later, others (MAU here on TBBETA) and Curtis (on TBOT) ran into it. We had some discussion, but I know that I did not go to BT with it then. Either Maxim or Marek--or one of the developers, I'd have to do a search to say from whom I had the reply--said that it wasn't fixable, for some sort of technical reason. I'll try to see if a search of BT will turn up any report. I really don't remember ever making one; I think if I didn't, it was because of the reply from the developers. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.51.9 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 3.51.9 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello Stuart! On Friday, July 22, 2005, 12:34 PM, you wrote: Occasionally, though, even that will fail. :woe: It seems to work every time if I only select one line. If I select two or more lines then I must also select the next line to get the smiley retained. I hope it will turn out to be this way consistently. Then, we might have a chance of eradicating it. My memory of it is that occasionally in the past, smileys in the middle of lines have been omitted. Although, I can't right now recall a specific message as an example. Or, Smileys at ends of lines within a paragraph where the full paragraph was quoted, were dropped. But, can't be sure. I just have a strong memory of it's having happened. Unless I dreamed it. ;) Anyway, I can't thank you enough for taking time with it for me! -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.51.9 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 3.51.9 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
