Case correction and variable pitch fonts

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

When using case correction and variable width (not fixed pitch) fonts the case correction doesn't update the rest of the line and it looks like characters are overlapping. To reproduce in the sample:

-Open Style Editor and change to Lucida Sans 11 point (larger is easier to see)
-Navigate to the Document object in the property grid and enable autocase correction
-Change language to VBScript (since c# is case sensitive and doesn't update case)
-Type this on a new line: rtrim("test")
-When you hit enter and the command becomes RTrim, you'll notice the 'm' character crashing into the (" characters

Can you change this behavior so that when case correction does modify characters that the spacing for the entire line is updated as well? Thanks!

I noticed that the latest release didn't include this item. Do you have an estimate as to when this item will be fixed?

I just downloaded 4.0.246 and the problem still appears to exist. Is there a property I need to set to enable the fix?

I see, you are right. We were previously testing by pressing the arrow key to move to a new line and we made a fix fo that scenario in the last maintenance release. But apprently it didn't help with when you press Enter or paste something with line feeds. I'll get this marked down to get those other scenarios working as well.
