Repost of my riposte.

Would changing to "select after the text" make this better?

Sorry chaps; just a nudge as most of you are focussed on the Conf. 
 
============================================ 
 
So, here I am with a large textField, and as I merrily type into it new characters keep getting 
added to the end of the string (as one would expect): 
 
Now, this is a textField being filled up with unicode (double-byte) chars, and to make sure the 
next chars gets placed in the correct place my insertion routine ends with 
 
select after the selectedText 
 
HOWEVER, when my line of text gets near to the edge of my textField I tend to hit the RETURN 
or ENTER button on my keyboard and start a new line . . . 
 
after which things go "funny", and the  select after the selectedText keeps pushing my 
text insertion point back to the end of line one of my text. 
 
Obviously "this just won't do" . . . . 
 
Richmond.
