Hi Joe, You're completely right, we have to fix the problem. I just tried to explain the cause of the trouble and a possible solution for you. > Thanks for the response. A few thoughts: > > i) As the developer this is very obvious to you. But as a user, it was completely > non-obvious! I had absolutely no way of knowing that I should hit Esc. All I could > see was that Amaya wasn't deleting what I asked it to. At the very least, it would > be a good idea for Amaya to display an informative messsage box in this situation. > > ii) I don't believe I was trying to do anything unreasonable in this situation. I > wanted to delete a particular block of text, and Amaya wouldn't let me. Hitting > Esc means I end up deleting more than I want to. If Amaya is a WYSIWYG editor, > surely there shouldn't be such a concept as an "inconsistent selection", as this > is forcing users to take account of the underlying HTML/MathML. > > iii) If I enlarge the selection, delete it, and then Undo the deletion, I can then > delete the area I originally wanted to delete. This suggests to me that it should > have been possible to delete that area in the first place... > > Sorry to be a pain, but I am using Amaya a lot, and am just putting the user's > point of view! > > Joe
