Known bug in 1.4.7.

If you paste spaces you'll get spaces!!! The editor removes extra spaces when
you edit a line, if you don't edit this line it will have the same spaces it
had. You can do a macro to touch the lines if you want.

I can't reproduce it. Please send the following:
1) A text file where it can be reproduced.
2) The RHIDE's project and desktop files in use.
For it create a new project and then create the demostration file. The send
the files compressed.

I think it was fixed in the last version of my editor (not yet incorporated
to RHIDE or released). That's happends with some Windows applications that
refuse to paste some kind of text objects.

1) I can't fix things if I can't reproduce it.
2) It could be a bug in Windows clipboard handling. If you find a way to
reproduce it tell me.

The standalone editor too, just tell it to Robert periodically, some day he
will add it ;-))

Hey man that's logic and documented!! See Options|Environment|Preferences|No
file caching. RHIDE have a times cache if you modify a file outside RHIDE
then the cache is invalid. Exiting and rerunning RHIDE will work of course.
You should *ever* modify the files from RHIDE of turn off the caching (it
will slow down the dependencies checking).

Project are saved automatically on exit or when you load a new project or
when you run an external application. The "save options" is to create files
with a set of options not to save the current project. Project options are
under the Project menu, not under the Options menu.

Thanks I know it, but I don't know if I'll fix it because currently it could
be dangerous.

Some of them aren't bugs and Robert will tell you if he want or not to add
these features. Others are clear missuse. If you can send me the test for the
(4) I'll fix it. (3) isn't a bug at all if you paste spaces you'll get spaces
until you edit the line, normally spaces are purged to save disk space.
