Re: automatic line wrapping issues
[Reply to: »Paul Berger« · 2009-03-31 · 07:32 h (CET)] Moin, Paul! The point is, the wrapping only works when you are typing the paragraph from scratch. When you go back to edit a paragraph, all the wrapping gets broken and messed up. Why can't it dynamically wrap everything like any other text editor would do? Is there a setting somewhere? It is Alt-L within the paragraph to reformat. It would be good if this can be set to autoformat. Well, Auto-format actually does the trick as long as one is *adding* characters or words. Reformatting a paragraph after something is deleted seems to be broken or not be implemented. So in my opinion this is a bug.

automatic line wrapping issues
I'm using microEd and I have the free caret option turned off. In email programs I've used, and also with the bat, I always have issues with word wrappiing. Specifically for the Bat, I notice problems when I type a paragraph, but then go back to edit something or delete something in the middle of the paragraph. What happens is that the line wrapping gets all screwed up and if I add some words to the middle of the paragraph, that line I added on to will now stretch way beyond the regular wrapping edge. Similarly, if I delete words, the line will shorten but it won't bring along the next line with it...in other words, only that one line will shorten even if more words from the next line can fit above. The point is, the wrapping only works when you are typing the paragraph from scratch. When you go back to edit a paragraph, all the wrapping gets broken and messed up. Why can't it dynamically wrap everything like any other text editor would do? Is there a setting somewhere? I've run into this before and someone suggested that when that happens, I reformat the paragraph with some shortcut (I forgot what it was, but it was something similar to just aligning left). But my real question is why can't the program do this automatically? -- AC Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello tb...@thebat., It is Alt-L within the paragraph to reformat. It would be good if this can be set to autoformat.
