Re: 1.2 Beta7 Feedback

1) It would be nice if there was a way to invoke edit menu functionality in code. Some people want Copy,Paste,Cut,Clear,Undo, and Redo (or some subset) to be available in a toolbar. The only way to do this is to modify the FTC's code or re-implement the methods (which doesn't work for Undo and Redo and doesn't integrate well with the built-in undo mechanism for the others). Along the same lines, there's no way to tell which functionality should be enabled except by copying the code that's in EnableMenuItems. 

I implemented this in beta 8. Let me know how well this works for
you and any enhancements you need.
2) If nothing is selected and the caret isn't inside of a word, the various "changeX" methods like changeBoldStyle will set the style to be used on the next entered character, but selectionBold won't ever return that value. This makes it difficult to make the buttons on a formatting toolbar accurately reflect the user's selections under all circumstances. 

On the list to look at.
3) Pasting a large amount of text can appear to lock up the program. This is because the segmentString method in FTDocument slows down substantially the longer a string is. 

Thanks, implemented in beta 8.
4) In 1.2-Beta7 if you click anywhere past the last character on a line, the caret gets placed immediately before the last character instead of after it. 

I was/am working on this problem.
