Jesper is on it and pretty soon our cursor motion will be on a par with MS
Word97. They have the same bug about not putting a character in the first
column of superscripted run. (I had to use MS Word last last night so I
took the opportuning to test things. I was very happy to see we are doing
underlining better than than them. Word underlines of subscripts go
through the bottom of the subscripted text. Ours sit just beneath it)

Cheers
