Mail quirk¶
147 words on Mac OS X
I am wondering whether I am the only one seeing the following problem from time to time. It’s really driving my mad.
When typing a message in Mail I may have some text sitting there with the cursor being after the last letter:
Then I hit the space bar which inserts a space as expected. But it also changes the line break:
That is odd! Adding text in the bottom line shouldn’t change the lines above it in an unsophisticated text system like Cocoa’s. Particularly when you are using a monospaced font. And it’s just darn distracting when the words you type change their position on screen for every word you type.
This problem doesn’t always happen and I really wonder who is to blame. Could it be a fault of WebKit or perhaps another aspect of the problem OS X sometimes has with Monaco 10pt?
