Launch in a new process option cannot be changed anymoreIn IE 5.01 it is not possible to manually change the setting to start a separate process each time you open new IE window anymore. This option now depends on the amount of PC's RAM -- less then 32 MB => disabled, 32 MB or more => enabled. What an ignorance! |

Form autocomplete controlled by mouse reacts very slowlyin opposite to keyboard control. In any text input field, when suggested entries show up depending of what you typed so far, you can either select one of them by using cursor keys and pressing enter, or by clicking left mouse button on it. However, when you select it using the mouse, it activates after almost one second, and if you move the mouse in the meantime (after the click), some other option can be easily selected my mistake. No fix known yet. Tell me if you have/know one. Priority: low. |

OE5, OL2000,
|
When selecting the text with mouse, you cannot see the text cursorcompare it to Windows' Notepad. In addition, when selecting empty lines among other ones in OE, you cannot even see when it is selected. In opposite to this, in OL2000 it seems one space (which of cource isn't there) is selected on such empty line. |

OL2000,
|
Cutting the line then pasting it back loses CR+LFIn OL2000 when you do "Home, Shift+End, Ctrl+X, Up, Ctrl+V", it pastes the deleted text not on it's own line, but at the beginning of the previous line. It's in the direct opposite to the fact, that when you did "Ctrl+X" as described above, you've got the current line deleted -- but, it never pastes back again. (Compare with Windows' Notepad.) Example:
In OE it works good, because it doesn't delete the line first time, if you wanna cut whole line incl. CR+LF, you should issue "Home, Shift+Down, Ctrl+X, Up, Ctrl+V" and everything is just alright. Why the hell they don't have it behaving still the same way? No fix known yet. Tell me if you have/know one. Priority: above normal. |
