- Pardon me if I'm behind the times a bit here - I finally realized that
- we were using old versions of the ATK software on the 6000's - and made
- a new link so I could access the newer versions of the software (Gary's
- post about the help-links got me curious.)
-
- In general, I didn't see many changes (copyright in message-line) - but
- I didn't really expect to either since the "old" versions weren't too
- old.
-
- However I noticed one change which, silly though it may be, bothered me.
- The way a line of text is shown as selected has changed:
- [An Andrew ToolKit view (a raster image) was included here, but could
- not be displayed.]("old" on bottom - "new" on top)
-
- Before you used to get a "clean" rectangular reverse-video box
- indicating the selection region - now you get a rectangle with a weird
- missing-piece at the beginning and an extra-piece at the end. Clearly
- this "piece" is supposed to be the CRLF (or newline, whatever).
-
- Was this intentional?
- Is this really preferred?
- Is it necessary??
