    Default Editing text in columns

    If I have 20 or so lines of text with some tabs in two or more columns, what
    might be the reason that I can?t edit a specific line of text (or word) in the
    second column? In all other columns it works fine, just in the second one
    something forces the cursor up in the first line.

    It's a crazy behavior of Freehand. Some might call it a bug. Macromedia
    might call it a finger exercise program. It's why I've pretty much given
    up on using columns (that and some other funky behavior where text
    "jumps" columns and refuses to go sit back in the column it is supposed
    to be in.) You can do what I do and use linked text boxes. They seem to
    behave better than columns.

    Can?t agree more! So let?s call it a bug and I can only hope Macromedia does that too. Linked boxes are an obvious option, though have become so used to use columns instead. Thanks for your reply.

    Make sure you report this so the FreeHand engineers know about the bug.
