I just noticed a bug in the current version of macwrite (2.2). It is easily
reproduced by opening a new macwrite file, selectin full justification,
selecting insert page break, the typing a word, tab, than typing a sentence. When the sentence reaches
the end of the line and wraps around, the first word typed will vanish from
the screen. It will return if the tab is deleted, the page break is removed, or full
justification is deselected. This happens in a more practical setting when typing numbered
paragraphs -- as you insert page breaks to pretty up the printing, the numbers before the tabs vanish.
Hopefully someone from apple is listening, and this can be corrected before the next release. If someone
from apple does get this, please send me a note so I know it got there, otherwise I'll try a
more conventional letter.
