I agree that it is faster but looks more coherent?? I don't get it. If you configure the rich text editor to use the same font and font sizes with the various text types then it'll show the text exactly as in the plain text viewer.

The reason why DVR> this is so inconvenient is that I frequently miss the vertical DVR> scroll bar by just a few milimeters when I want to drag it down. Sounds like you need to widen the width of your scroll bar. DVR> Instead of moving down, the screen then moves sideways. It's a DVR> bug and it needs fixing! :) The fix for the viewer was the rich text viewer. Many complained that the viewer didn't support variable width fonts, that it broke pgp signature verification. They also voiced the wish for multi-quote level colouring. The plain text viewer seems to be a derivative of the editor and even uses some of the editor settings such as the font and auto-wrap settings. A lot of the limitations and problems seen in the PTV are derivatives of features of the editor including the free caret interface, no support for soft wrapping and no support for variable width fonts. The problem you're having is as a result of the free caret interface of the editor. The developers said that it would be easier for them to just develop a new viewer entirely rather than 'fix'/enhance the old one. This is what the RTV is about including the new HTML rendering engine. The RTV is not only there for rendering HTML but also for reading plain text. - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.61 | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAj00bfgACgkQV8nrYCsHF+IAKwCg7/qI+6kka5L7KuMp0ArvJgNK VDIAoMCUVCVz3RF2K2BPULC72HaFL1bT =T2H4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
