John,

The problem you report with the hard space is very easy to replicate.  I've
filed it with reference #1127, and expect it to be fixed well before
release.

Thanks for your kind words about the codes.  You'll find that, in beta 4,
they can appear in a font that's a bit too small.  I'll be working on this
too.

- Peter

This is John Hemphill with a couple of observations.

Regarding the display for the hard space, which now takes up only one space
now, instead of three. This works well with the codes turned off, but when
the codes are on and the hard space is used, it shifts the cursor position a
couple of spaces to the right and shows the cursor in the middle of a
character instead of before it. When you try to edit the document, you don't
know where the cursor is located.

I have also had a different problem on two different occasions. When I
translate a print file the braille document comes up with an unreadable
screen display. It shows braille dots, but they are greatly elnarged and all
run together. The translated line at the bottom is partially visible, and
seems to be correct. In order to continue I have to reboot.
This is not a font problem--displaying the ASCII characters. That I have no
problem with, since I use this format regularly when I need to input in
direct braille. 
If I encounter this problem again, I will try to remember what I was doing
just before it happened to help find out what's going on.

Thank you so very much for using shading to set off the codes, instead of
displaying them in red. For us red-green colorblind users, this is a big
improvement. Now I can see the codes at a glance.
