Bug Report

Here are some things that I've found:

I've experimented with the delete key for quite some time and it seems that there are issues with it not deleting the correct character quite a lot when a new style run is encountered during the deleting. Often the character to be deleted is skipped and the next one is deleted instead.

Once I've gotten an "IllegalCastException" in FTDocument.insertStyleAtInsertion when hitting the backspace key to delete some text.

Hitting the tab key tabs correctly to a new location, but when text is typed, the style of the text (size and color, maybe more) is not the same as it was before the tab key was pressed.

Tabs show up as blue dots.  Can these be hidden?

Got OutOfBoundsException in FTParagraph.insertTabCharacter at items.insert(index, new FTTab(parentControl)). I was hitting the tab key repeatedly. This seems to be fairly repeatable if you keep hitting the tab key enough.

I'm confused about the addDefaultTabStops function. It seems like it does not matter what I use as the second parameter. The tab spacing always comes out to be the same.


Still having trouble here with the keyboard control to get arrow keys. It looks like its a problem with my system because in a simple test, I can not see any asyncKeyboard input at all, but on a different user account, I can. Very strange. I'll have to throw out a help flag to the general RB mailing list - maybe someone will know what I need to do!


All of this was done using FTC b15PV14 on the Mac IDE with Mac 10.5.2 as the target.
