Bruce,
I seem to have tracked this down ... sort of. It looks
like the line width that is reported it based on the
characters widths (which I report in pixels from the
Graphics class thought measureString) and then being
compared against the MaxWidthInLayoutUnits, which
doesn't seem to be in pixel values. For example I get
a MaxWidth of 650 upon start up and then something
like 6000 and change for the MaxWidthInLayoutUnits.
Obviously this means that I have to type in a _lot_
of characters before I ever hit the break condition
of
m_iWorkingLineWidth < m_iMaxLineWidth
Bruce, it looks like you added the code it ... think
you can provide me with some enlightenment here on
what I am doing wrong (ie should I be reporting
character width in something other than pixels ..
or is there a conversion routine that I'm missing).
I suspect that this has also broken the BeOS port,
but I can't test that theory right at this moment.
