Sorry, I inadvertently hijacked a thread. Aside from being sorta rude,
it doesn't work real well if you want your question answered. Trying
again...
In amongst the interminable RC vs. styles debate I was playing with
character styles in a test document (just to make sure I truly
understood what was going on in various scenarios).
I noticed that if I have automatic URL recognition turned on and I enter
a url like http://something.com then the appearance will correctly
change to blue, single underline. This corresponds to the settings in
the Internet Link Character style.
*However*, if I use the arrow keys to move the cursor into the hyperlink
with the Stylist window open to character styles, the highlighted
character style doesn't change. It stays on Default. There's no
indication (other than the appearance of the link) that a style other
than default has been applied.
So my question is: Is the appearance of the hyperlink changed by
automatically applying the Internet Link style, or by automatically
applying direct formatting equivalent to the style? I sort of assume the
former because if I modify the Internet Link style it is immediately
reflected in the appearance of the link.
But it gets weirder; if I have the cursor *outside* the link, right
click on the Internet Link character style to modify it, then when I
move the cursor around with the arrow keys, or click somewhere else in
the document, the Internet Link character style remains highlighted. But
I just noticed that if you wait long enough, for an automatic
pseudo-save (or whatever you want to call it) to take place, then the
highlighting will jump to the correct character style.
This only seems to happen with the Internet Link character style; other
character styles work the way I expect.
Is this a bug?
