I did happen to find one odd thing. When you have a text that you have formatted on your home computer
and then past that file into the Visitor Message,PM or the Email contact form it doubles the space between
lines. I can go back and remove the extra lines it just that it should not happen and is an annoyance.

The current post editor is supposed to be a true "duplicator" of whatever you paste, so if there's any underlying formatting or unicode, what will get pasted and display here as well.

We have learned that the paste function and underlying code sometimes doesn't quite work that well with this editor.

I just pasted this from Mac OS TextEdit Version 1.12 (329)
It worked just find before the update.
There should only be a one line line between the
1 and 2 and on extra lines between the numbers.
It should like like this
1

But as you can see it is not. It really screws with form letters.

Well i found another "undisclosed feature" AKA: BUG
I posted a comment done with font size and color changes.
I had forgotten to place a period at the end of a line. So I
clicked edit and added it. Then clicked save. The system totally
hosed all the color commands. I had done all the editing with
Source option clicked and had used preview and had zero problems

Here is a screen shot. I went back and edited it again with the source option clicked.


It went and changed all the color commands to color=&amp

What's wrong with the normal text? Is there a need for size, font and color changes?

If I'm writing a lengthy review it helps to have sections well formatted with headings.

Check out the Excursion forum tech folder. Ignore the first post, when the reformat happened, the old coding got changed and I haven't had time to fix it yet. Scroll down to the second post and you'll see how handy font color, sizes, and formatting helps to organize information.

This is but one simple example. Many times a user will format their post to present lengthy information in an easily read format.

It's needed.

No, but really I don't care. It is what it is, it aint going back, and I have more important windmills to tilt at so I adapt and overcome.
