Hello,

I was making a 'Learn to type' program, but when I tested it it removed a letter from a TEXT element. It's the first H of Hello there.

Hi again, skit!

Try to insert this

Thank you!

Still, it's really strange that the text doesn't 'fit'...

Well, actually it does fit. The first part is just overwritten by your second blank text element TEXT2. Try to REM that line out, and everything is normal.

So it wasn't even a bug???
Well, I think I'm going to try BACKGROUND with Style2... If that doesn't work, I'll set TEXT2 a bit to the left, and make sure that the first character isn't visible, so that the text doesn't overwrite eighother...

On a somewhat related topic, I found that with an edit element, if your style sets the text too large for the edit, the text may look OK (y's p's and other descenders may get clipped a little), but your cursor no longer appears. Apparently if the whole cursor won't fit with your edit height, it doesn't appear at all.

That is probably a problem that S.A.D.E. cannot control, however, it may be the fault of Windows.
