Longstanding workspace snag

Hello all,

I think this goes back a while (3.06 if not earlier???), and it's happened
on various machines and versions of Windows, and I've now seen it in an
image that's never been saved on anything other than win2k.  The problem
(the workaround is obvious) is that a large number of blank lines will
"randomly" be inserted into the content of a workspace.  I'm not sure when
it happens, but, in the past, it would typically resurface if I deleted the
lines (and I _think_ in the same place).  A long time ago, I tried deleting
"around" the problem area in an attempt to remove any non-printable
character that might have been confusing the rich text control; it never
helped.

Is it just me? :)

Have a good one,

Bill

That sounds like it would be really annoying, like I would notice it.
However I have never noticed anything like that on Dolphin 3, 4, or 5 on
Windows NT, 2000 or ME (I don't use it often on ME though).  I think I
usually have word wrap on in workspaces, I don't know if that is relevant.
I suspect that my workspaces have not seen many unusual characters.  I
wonder if your computers might share some other program in common that might
have messed up the RTF control, perhaps by installing a quirky version.
