1. Clicking in the display somewhere to the right of an empty
paragraph or arrow-down from the end of a previous paragraph takes
the cursor to the second character, rather than to the beginning of
the paragraph. This is unexpected behavior for a non-computer-savvy
user.
I cannot reproduce what you described. When you click to the right
of a paragraph it is supposed to move the insertion caret to the
end of the line the cursor lines up with. Using the up and down
arrows will move the caret to the relative character position in
the next line and this is by design.
The most detailed description I can give is: when I click to the right of a paragraph
without contents, the insertion caret moves to after what looks like an "empty"
character. So, for the user, it looks like the caret is positioned behind a space which
he had not typed.
The same happens with a down arrow from the end of a paragraph with contents to
an empty paragraph.
