OK...I think I'm getting somewhere. I've been able to CAUSE, and FIX this problem. Unfortunately, to fix it, you MUST use certain fonts...for instance: the "fixed" font.

It doesn't seem to matter whether I turn word-wrap on or off, but depending on the font, it happens to some degree. When I'm using Helvetica (adobe), it barely happens (enough that I don't care), but changing to others, tends to spread the screen. And depending on the font, the minimum width of the window is different. Give "fixed" a try and tell us what you see (besides ugly fonts <g>).

I turned it off...and it's working??

Most excellent...thanks! I was using:

but I think mine is a little "too" simple. But what I meant by not working was regarding the "quoted text secondary color" option. I set the "quoted text primary color" to red, and the secondary to green. But the secondary always seems to be a darker shade of the primary. Oh well...not a big deal.

Sure wish I could help with development, but I'm no hacker... :-(
