When I switch to overwrite mode in RHIDE the behaviour is somewhat
annoying.
I have activated "optimal fill" and "use tabs" and I'm used to it, by
the Borland environment, that "optimal fill" is only applied to leading
blanks. Rhide takes it literally and fills also in between blanks. This
leads to the behaviour that if I
create commentlines for headers and switch to overwrite mode that tabs
get substituted by the characters I write (that's ok). BUT! :) this
means that characters at the end jump toward the lead because one tab
stands for multiple characters.
/****************************************************/
/* */
/* Comment x */
/* */
/****************************************************/
I'm using headers like this to document functions. In this case all
blanks are substituted by an appropriate number of tabs. Now when i
place the cursor after 'x' and type a new character, this means that the
tab, that holds that position will be subsituted and the trailing '*/'
jumps. Looks like this then.
/****************************************************/
/* */
/* Comment xx */
/* */
/****************************************************/
When you continue writing this continues as more tabs get substituted.
This is not really a bug but it is annyoing. :) I'm using a standard
template for this headers and usually I copy the empty template and fill
it out. Now I'd have to manually refill the blanks to have a proper
appearance.
