This article was previously published under Q155147

SUMMARY

Spaces to the right where the right margin is located appear to vanish when you attempt to select them with the mouse.

The following are situations in which you might observe this behavior:
  1. The space is the last character on any line.
  2. There is an entire line with only spaces.
The behavior may cause some confusion for Microsoft Word users because selecting spaces in Microsoft Word operates differently than in Creative Writer 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Open a new document.
  2. Type a series of words until after you reach the end of the line.
  3. Click in the area immediately to the right of the last word on the first line.
  4. Press the SPACEBAR several times.
  5. Click in the area to the right of the right margin. (Notice that any spaces to the right of the right margin appear to have vanished, and you cannot select the other spaces.)
  6. Press the RIGHT ARROW key to confirm that there are spaces to the right of the cursor.
