Hi Steve,
Here's the response from the programmer.
George.
> You're right about this; the program is working according to
> design: [txi] and [cbi] insert indicators only as a document
> is translated.
>
> One might debate the quality of that design of course, but
> such a debate wouldn't turn this behavior into a bug.
