There are no known problems. I put this page on the Help menu at about 0.9s because of a very scary “appearance” of a problem."
I leave the fixed problem below as a model so you can write, for anybody who shares your eWriter, any problem you come across, hopefully as you write to tell me about it at acorioso@ccnet.com. Just put your paragraphs between a pair of lines.

At the time of this release, there is one puzzle not solved in eWriter’s code. There is one such problem encountered as you type in an editor. The solution is to continue typing ...but that won’t occur to you.
What happens: You are typing some text within an already existing line. Suddenly, the text in front of your cursor disappears. The last character you typed becomes a space to the left of your cursor. And the character to the left of that space has a non-blinking cursor between it and the space. This happened just as the last character in the line was to go under the vertical scrollbar. If you were typing at that line end, the scrollbar would appear and the screen would jump to allow you to see where you were typing. The mechanism for this seems to go crazy.
Workaround: Type your next character. If you just typed the last one you intended to type, type a space and, when the lost text appears, delete that extra space. The only damage that has been done is to your nervous system. But that is important and is the reason for “Known Problems” now being put onto eWriter’s Help menu with release 0.9s.
Fixed: 0.9y (May 26, 2000).
