All,
I had made a previous posting to the list, but it looks
like the ether may have eaten it ... so here is another
go (apologies if this is a repeat).
I'm working on the QNX Photon port of AbiWord and it
looks like the right margins are being ignored. I see
this when loading up the Interview.abw document, there
are no columns ... the text just runs straight across.
This isn't just a problem with the columns though. If
I start typing and just keep typing until I hit the
right side of the page, the text won't wrap down to the
next line, but instead just carries on straight.
I'm not all that familiar with the XAP code (most of
the times it _just works_) and was wondering if people
might want to point me (and my debugger!) to the right
chunk of code where we determine when to put the next
block of text on the next line. I tried following
the code after a key-event and it went through insertData
to the fv_View code to a couple of suspicious looking
functions _generalUpdate() which does a whole baliwack
of stuff, and _updateInsertionPoint().
In any case I've got people chompin at the bit to use
this WP (even in it's early form) but this is a bit of
a show stopper for me.
Thanks guys,
Thomas
