Re: The Diabolical Cursor Part II: This Time He's Mad

[Sean Porterfield <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just out of curiosity, does yours still crash on F5 with the CVS version?  I
think mine did crash in 0.15.7 (or some earlier version), but in 0.15.8 and the
CVS version I got yesterday it puts in the Input Inhibit and does not crash.  It
does still have the problem of clearing the last character if field exit is
pressed, of course.
