Greg, For #2, I'm not talking about color change. Notice if you select part of text within a single line, font of selected text looks the same, while if you select text over multiple lines, font of the selected text looks a little bit different. (Looks a bit fuzzy or maybe anti-aliased.)
For #1, 4, I entered feature requests: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-696 TextArea support for entering tab characters and tab stops https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-695 TextInput should support editable property apptaro On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 5:51 PM, Greg Brown <[email protected]> wrote: >> 1.
