Is this really a useful behavior? Line spacing is really only useful for displaying text (or editing text in a Word Processor mode). Such modes are unlikely to use continued lines, so I think it is quite sufficient functionality for the intended usage. Besides, it would be quite difficult to implement this "correctly" so it can go back and modify the line spacing of display rows with continued lines. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
