martin answered, that this bug has something to do with the system typesetter and therefore cannot be fixed until apple does it,...
so my question: WHY does microsoft word (mac edition) don't show this behaviour?
mainly the bug that keeps me from completly switching to nisus!!
just a short question linking to bug_report in beta forum

Because Word uses its own text engine, and its own dictionary, and its own spellcheck system. NWP uses the Cocoa text-engine built into Mac OS X as its foundation, which allows it to inherent any upgrades with each OS upgrade. However, it also means that it inherents any bugs as well.
Martin can probably give you a more technically sound answer, but this is the gist of it...

Nice catch on Mr Whitlock's signature line, Gem.
enC this factor has been a problem for Nisus -- and a lot of other Mac developers -- all along. It would be interesting to see whether the points on pages misbehave as they do in Nisus, or whether the Apple programmers have done a fix of their own to overcome this OS text engine limitation.

no pas
no problem
I just got to figure out how to get
NW-P 1.0, OSX 10.4.10 intel - 2 gig ram
in with my regular sig, which is the require 80 characters
because it helps a lot in interpreting questions if you know a person's system..

> it does NOT happen, so apple probably won't gonna fix this.
any chance nisus can make a tmp.fix on their own?

Pages actually uses the same engine as Safari, which is different than the text engine that NWP and TextEdit make use of. So they'll have a different set of behaviors (and bugs).enC wrote:i just crossvalidated it in pages:

In this case, it's very unlikely. While sometimes we can work around a bug in Apple's text engine it all depends on what the bug is and how accessible that part of the engine is.any chance nisus can make a tmp.fix on their own?
