v8 - Hyperlinked Notes rendering
« on: February 11, 2010, 05:32:42 pm »
In: v8 - Hyperlinked Notes I discuss some issues in in relation to them.  In passing, I note that by default the rendering of such notes and the surrounding text is incorrect in the Windows where the the hyperlink is "surfaced", but correct where it is not.

Additionally, I had a hyperlink as the first term in a Note and pressed [Home] then started typing.  The hyperlink was transmogrified and (effectively) destroyed.


Steps:
Create a hyperlink in empty note.  Make note visible on diagram.
Add text after hyperlink.
Observe new text retains hyperlink formatting in dialog but NOT in on screen note.
Press [Home] to get before hyperlink.  Start typing.
Observe Hyperlink corrupted.

Just tested in Beta 2 while the corruption of the Hyperlink is gone, the rendering (and management of text) in the Notes window is still broken.

The Notes Window [Ctrl+Shift+1] insists on making all text underlined and red.  This is regardless of interim changes to the text - which appear to be correct.

As soon as you type a space, the rendering gets "broken".
[edit]The underlined and red text is caused by Spell Checking - Thanks Sparxian Aaron.  See Tools | Options | Objects | Disable Spelling
Set the option appropriately (or spell words correctly :-[) and all's good![/edit]
