It is. The additional space following the imgSrc is  not the placeholder but 
a workaround to prevent mis-formatting and crashing. As  for bug 2511, I do 
not get spaces added by the engine; I need to ensure they are  inserted manually 
in order to avoid problems.
 
 
ISSUE #2 - Space or char required before the imgSrc
 
You cannot insert text at position imgSrc -1, only imgSrc -2 or earler. If  
the imgSrc is the first char of the fld, this is problematic.
 
 
ISSUE #3 - Two Methods: ImageSource vs htmlText
 
This keeps the char...
[set the imageSource of char n of fld tFld to tRef]
Subsequently, inserting text at position -1 does not move the image but  
moves the original char to be visible.
 
This removes the char...
[set the htmltext of char n of fld tFld to "<img src=" &  quote & "1234" & 
quote & ">"]
Subsequently, text insered at position -1 is hidden 'behind' the embedded  
image.
 
In both, the embedded image itself can only be moved if text is inserted at  
position -2 or earlier (ISSUE #2 above).
